Okay, you could argue that this is still a Christmas themed spoon. But then again, this is actually a ladle.
See, here's what happened: after we retired the first bent spoon, we had to find ways to bend other plastic cook spoons in order for the "snake" aspect to work. And yes, even weirder than spending hours dressing up a plastic spoon and giving it eyes was the time spent with blowtorches (swear to God) trying to make plastic spoons bend so that you COULD dress them up. One year we succeeded in burning one so badly that it was completely unusable - or so I thought. It turns out my sister took it and made it into the Phantom Snakespoon of the Opera - bubbled, grotesque face and all. (Don't have that photo yet. I'll post it if it's ever found.)
In the meantime, we had to make do with plastic ladles or things of that ilk. This MAY actually be the last spoon that we successfully bent. I DO recall that the two fangs are also made of filed down plastic rather than the white paper that I often used. And yes, the blue eyes sparkle. I'm quite fond of this guy - something about his simplicity.
Ah, simplicity. It started to go right out the window after this.....
