OK-I confess. I shouldn't be having these thoughts. But I am already thinking about my Christmas Crap! I LOVE the Christmas Crap-every cheap, tacky, spray painted, raggedy, over the North Pole piece of it... Oh!!! At a yard sale this summer I actually bought a gold reindeer with a broken antler, an old black Santa who been drug through the 1970's, and a roly poly plastic Santa from the 1960's (lead paint an all...). Ain't that EXCITING ya'll?!?! I've got ornaments stuffed in hidey-holes in my kitchen too... Ya'll I'm READY to get my Holiday ON!!! Mr B is not gonna like this line of thinking... So I'm gonna hold the holiday line (and keep the fantasizing just between us) and try to at least get to Thanksgiving before cracking the holiday decorating whip...
But I ain't making ya'll no promises...
Neighborhood Scoop:
There's a n'borhood near mine, and as I drove through I noticed that an acquaintance ALREADY had her Santa Christmas lights up on the lawn. Ya'll it ain't even HALLOWEEN yet! When I saw this I came home and called 5 people. Now I know I'm TACKY when it comes to the Christmas Crap...but at least I ain't THAT TACKY.
I will admit that I started thinking about Christmas this week when I went to Hobby Lobby and saw all the pretty Christmas crap on display. Be strong - you can make it to Turkey day!
ReplyDeleteI needed a BB fix, and I laughed out loud when I read this! I had a 1960s rolypoly lighted Santa that I wore out b/c it was beside the Christmas tree every year until I was in college. It was the yardstick for my growth since my birthday is the day after :-0
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, Mom saw a brand new one (they are retro now, you know), so now my front porch has a plastic Santa on it every year, and he can be Matthew's yardstick!
