Christmas Decorations

[wolf]

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.
