Oh My Dear Saints and Stars Above


It’s happening again.

Cracked Daddy came down with a serious case of Christmas spirit and is now outside in the freezing cold decorating our front yard. With lights. And fugly plastic candy canes that light up. And blue icicles. Blue. Nevermind the fact that I went and specifically purchased WHITE icicles to hang from our house so every light would be WHITE and match the rest of the lights we put up. I also thought the blasted plastic candy craps…erm…canes…had “disappeared”.

To add insult to injury my mother purchased E.B. a huge inflatable Christmas holiday yard ornament of some sorts….she was telling me about it over the phone and she lost me at “inflatable”. My ears began to ring, my head started swimming, and my plans of a tasteful holiday yard were once again blasted to smithereens.

I fully expect to see a picture of our home on Tacky Christmas Yards just any day now.

Halp!

    Gotta love the BLUE icicles!!!

    A few years ago, I just gave in and bought a blow up snow globe for our yard…the girls love it so I really don’t care if I’m on the tacky list! Just enjoy it!

    I continue my annual battle to fight off the non-white lights. So far I am winning…but it is only a matter of time.

    At least your husband decorates for Christmas. I have to do all of it myself every year because my DH is never home. And besides, I’m sure EB loves it.
