All onion and Grinch-made ornament proceeds go directly to The Grinch himself. Yes, he said he makes Christmas ornaments for your “stupid” tree🎄🤣!

Thank you for buying his onions here. If you bring one from home please kindly provide him a tip. (His lips are on fire 🔥)

Some kids spied an elf on my shelf up high,
They warned me, "Don't touch him!" | gave a stink eye.
So l leaned in closer, curious and sly, I poked him just once... and he tipped to the side.
Thump! went the elf as he fell, I blinked and I sighed, "Well he just died."
The kids froze in shock, their mouths open wide, I smirked and said, I'm A Mean One that's why.
The parents were laughing uncontrollably, and now they don't have to deal with that annoying elf nightly.
RIP Elfy.
-Yes this is a true story
