Christmas Decorations

xoxoxoBruce · 11-19-2006, 11:04 PM

This probably should be a WTF. Why? This picture was taken on Nov 18th, 5 days before Thanksgiving, in Bucks County, PA. C'mon people, slow down.

Oh man the stores were floggin decorations BEFORE halloween up here. WTF? Desperate much?

CaliforniaMama · 11-20-2006, 04:12 AM

Yup, came home last night to my neighbors newly installed decorations. Actually gave me a jolt. I felt like ripping them down! 'Course the kiddies are all excited.

One holiday at a time, please. Thank you very much.

My decorations are up.

Or, should I say, still up.

My wife and I have a novel approach to decorating for Christmas. We live in a neighborhood where people get down right competitive, there is even a judging and awards. most people opt for loads of those icicle lights, and traditional themed illuminated yard art of all shapes and sizes.

I decided rather then compete to make a different kind of statement. I put out about 120 full size snow goose hunting decoys that I no longer use much. They are all over the front yard with lights and we put little red bows on their necks.

I keep wondering if we will one day get a letter from the deed restriction people. Needless to say, I'm still waiting for one of the awards!

Boscov's had Christmas decorations for sale before Labor Day.

I'd like to see a picture of that.

Okay I can't compete with any of that
But I have had people making pilgrimages from.... well, other floors, to see my Christmas Tree.

Yes, that is supposed to be my In-Tray. But it has more important work to do this month, holding Secret Santa presents for a start.

I've got a framed picture of a reindeer on my cubicle with a blinking red LED behind the nose.

At home, I got 5 strings of LED Christmas lights that I hung vertically in my window, filling it with light. Damn, those things are bright.

I pulled a snowman mug out of the cupboard and set it on my kitchen counter. DONE!

I miss my old job at odd times. I had a co-worker that had a plastic reindeer that pooped M&M's when you pressed down on him. Tragically, he fell off his perch and is head was mounted on the cube wall all year round.

I wish I had a reindeer that pooped candy

Of the poo-in critters.

If you look around on the cellar, you'll find an xoBruce (I think) link to some very nice wooden versions. Or you can just google "reindeer poop candy" and find a cheap plastic version.

Eventually I will find the closet where I stowed the pre-decorated tree with the cardinals on it. The birds, not the baseball team. I will put it on top of the television and plug it in for my mother's enjoyment.

At work I have decorated thusly: I switched out my Halloween Blair Witch Project coffee mug for my Charlie Brown Christmas mug. On one side it has Snoopy and Charlie Brown looking at Snoopy's doghouse decorated for the contest. The other (important) side has Charlie Brown sitting with Lucy and talking to her at her booth. You know, the one with the sign that says "Psychiatric Help, 5¢ ".

Last year, during the critical decorating week, I covered for the secretary and had full access to the filing cabinet where she stows stuff she doesn't want people to know she has. In there I found MY supply of Christmas Decorations for the office. I hummed carols and slapped a bunch of window clings onto the bullet proof glass. Unfortunately, for the first time, the Crisis Boss (I have a separate Commitment Boss who is my actual supervisor) remembered that Bugs Bunny, the Road Runner, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig were aggregately called "Looney Tunes" and she made me take them down. I was allowed to keep my "Merry Christmoose," but only if I went out and got Chanukah and Kwanzaa decorations as well to be "inclusive." Apparently having a pagan do the Christmas decorating wasn't sufficiently inclusive.
