Holiday Decorations

OOH -- it's that time of year. When everyone hangs lights and decorations, the electric meter zipping along merrily, and snow and ice add to the magic. Some neighborhoods have contests, some have decorations so elaborate they are said to be seen from space (and irritate the neighbors, cause traffic jams -- Bah Humbug!).

And some -- well just want to have fun! Vote for your favorite in the comment section!


The Lazy Neighbor -- I would be that one next door!

The Bad Attitude Neighbor -- Disqualified for the Best Decorated House due to their bad attitude!

The Trouble Maker Neighbor:

Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations this year. Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard. Kind of feel like I gave in to the man by taking him down but my neighbor did confirm to near miss accidents on the busy street next to my house. I think I made him too real this time. So, it was fun while it lasted!

Vote now -- winners will be unveiled in an appropriate manner.

  4. I actually just sent that 3rd one out in an email. I love it because of the chaos. My favorite probably, but the Ditto is great as well.
