Well...it's time to pack up all the holiday crap...every tacky piece of it. But laws! I loved ever' tacky minute of it! So before it gets thrown into a box and jammed into the attic for a year, I wanted to post a few pics for y'all to enjoy. 'Member macrame??? That ancient 70's art of tying ropes together and giving your maw and mee-maw plant hangers and purses??? Macrame artists of the 70's were a diverse group comprised of church ladies, 9 year old girls, and barefoot, pot smoking uncles... Now what other art form can boast that?!? Well, as luck would have it, I inherited my mother's Christmas tree which I proudly hang on my pantry door in the kitchen. Ain't it a hoot?!? Total blast from the past... Makes people pause in wonder when they see it. I guess they're totally perplexed that such a bizarre relic actually made it into the new century instead of being tossed in a burning trash heap. Also I love my tacky blue tree in my dining room...especially those blue lights and tacky, cheap blue ornaments...just makes me want to put on an Elvis record and hear him croon.... "I'll have a-a-a- bluuuuuuu-ueeeee Christmas without yooooooo-ouuuu!"
Never fear y'all...Tacky will be back! It's always just a matter of time...
