Three "poifect" gifts! / Now these slapstick Santas-in their classic / "speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil" pose-can celebrate the season with a little merry mayhem. Curly is aiming to throw / that creamy pie at someone's kisser. Moe can hardly wait to use / his new wrench (perhaps on Curly's nose or to bop Larry's noggin). / And Larry contemplates surprising someone with a refreshing / facial of seltzer water. / The Three Stooges have been making audiences laugh since / vaudeville days and have gained new generations of fans as their / short-and feature-length films enjoy an extended stay on television. / Sculpted by / Tracy Larsen / For decorative use only. / Not for young children. / Handcrafted - Dated 1999
