My Thought Process
My sister Jennifer looks at the decoration--calling it that is a stretch--on my dining room table. On either side of a blue vase with some glittery stuff in it, I have placed my very expensive Publix Mrs. Santa salt shaker next to my Publix Mr. Snowman. On the other side is Santa with Mrs. Snowman (or is that Ms. Snowwoman?)
"So why did you split up the couples?" Jennifer asks.
"Because the Clauses have been in a box together all year and so have the Snow couple and they're sick to death of each other!" I explain.
"I knew you had thought that out," says Jennifer, nodding her head.

We were hoping our Publix Mrs. Pilgrim would get with child so that we could have more without having to pay for them. I don't think the facts of life have been explained to her husband--if he is her husband. Beth say that maybe he is gay and we need to get another male to keep him company.
Being a match maker for statuary is so difficult.
A matchmaker for statuary. Good one:)
P.S. Because of my astute understanding of such matters, I may be the proud owner of several mini-Santa Snow Baby salt and pepper shakers any day now.
Yikes, Gail! Santa Snowbaby Salt and Pepper Shakers?
Father, help us all.
Philosophically, I guess also the Claus's and the Snow's have reached a stage in their relationship where they can see other people without threatening the integrity of their union.
Practically, splitting them up is good for colour symmetry.
Psychologically, perhaps there are all sorts of Freudian reasons for Jennifer's question in the first place that have nothing to do with seasonal statuary?
Geometrically, I assume the mixed couples were standing beside each other, not on top?
Maritally, I hope that Mr Snow wasn't too close to Mrs Clause, after all Santa does have a list and he'll be checking it twice. Plus, a fully loaded sleigh pulled by 5 normal and one glowing reindeer could do a lot of damage to an unsuspecting Snowperson if Santa were to get jealous.
These are all very good (and some very funny) points, and you've gotten me to thinkin' on that third one. Oddly, you were in one of my what ever happened to musings the other day. Merry Christmas and thanks for this take on the very serious subject of mixed marriage among condiment containers. There are obviously more facets to explore than I realized.
