Spring Loaded: A Message from the Editor top of page | cover page

Welcome once again to Pezhead Monthly!

Last month's Pez Poetry Slam was a big success. Thanks again to the contributors who took the time to submit, and here's hoping for an even bigger Pez Poetry Slam next year! If you'd like a paper copy of the 2006 Pez Poetry Slam for free, there's one sure way to get it: submit your Pez poetry/fiction/artwork to a future issue! Or, for just a $1 PayPal donation, I'll send a paper copy of the 2006 Pez Poetry Slam to any address in the US via mail.

This month, Pezhead Monthly is all decked out for the holiday season. First off is the return of the Pezhead Monthly photo essay, this time featuring Pez ornaments and their thoughts whilst hanging out on the Christmas tree. There is also an exclusive interview with the brand new Mrs. Claus Pez dispenser. Also in the issue are Pez Poetry and the Pez Almost-Quote of the Month. And if that's not enough, returning from a long hiatus is Pezhead Monthly's occasional comic strip, Petey O'Jay. It's been a while, but as you'll discover, Petey has been quite busy.

Even with a break for the first half of the year, it's still been a great 2006 for Pezhead Monthly. Next issue will feature a fond look back at the year, so be sure to stay tuned.

Have a happy and safe holiday season, and see you next year!

If These Pez Ornaments Could Talk: A Pezhead Monthly Photo Essay top of page | cover page

Over the years, in addition to its multitude of fine dispensers, Pez has also released another set of collectibles in a variety of characters: Pez Christmas ornaments. These ornaments are modeled after actual Pez dispensers. Forget tinsel and garland- these ornaments are the perfect decoration for your tree.

But one must wonder, what if these Pez ornaments could talk? Would they share their hopes and dreams, their thoughts on life and all its intracacies and mysteries? Would they deliver orations worthy of Churchill and Lincoln? Would they trash talk those lame M&M ornaments?

Well wonder no more, because what follows is an exclusive Pezhead Monthly photo essay about this very topic. To heck with introductions; it's time for these Pez ornaments to speak for themselves.

Santa A is reaching his peak.

Bride and Groom are already enjoying their matrimony.

Cow is dressed to kill.

Knight and Pony get medieval.

Fireman is blazing new trails.
