...Disapproval would be folly-
Deck the halls with hunks of holly-
Fill the cup and don't say "when."
I need to get the Christmas tree and yard lights out soon. This will be a solo effort, as I married a man whose idea of Halloween festivities include sitting on the couch in his boxers with the porch light turned off eating the candy meant for the neighborhood kids.
Dim isn't a Scrooge exactly, he likes Christmas, and likes time with the family yadda yadda, but he thinks that putting lights up and decorating your yard for the holidays is stupid. Actually, he thinks cleaning up and putting away the lights is stupid, so why go to the trouble of putting them out in the first place?
The one thing that I don't understand is the prevalence in my neighborhood of the wicker reindeer. It's not so much that people have them, but how in the world do they have room in their houses to store them? Those annoying inflatable Santas deflate and fit into pretty small boxes, so storing them really isn't difficult, but wicker reindeer? They don't fold. Some of my neighbors have four or five of them. Where the heck do they put them?
Oh yeah, they park their $30,000 cars on the driveway, open to the elements, so that they can shelter $20 reindeer in the garage 11 months out of the year. Makes sense to me.
