Were any of them on your street, Chuck?

Husband to wife: I figured out what to do with that large tree in the front. String light up the trunk, from midpoint up, and not touch the branches! Oh, and we'll leave the bottom half undecorated!
And finally.............the last house on the tacky holiday parade!
This pic explains why aliens don't come down looking for intelligent life.

If this house and lawn were to catch fire, there would be a new hole in the ozone.
I tend to think any kind of illuminated figure, inflatable or otherwise, looks tacky--and that includes illuminated plastic Nativity sets. :P
Oh.....well.....confession time! lmao
My mom puts one of those light up nativity scenes on the front porch each year with a white sign with red letters that read "Happy Birthday Jesus"
::)
I understand she likes it, I just think it looks juvenile.
I keep telling her that one morning, she's going to wake up to see I've put party hats on Mary and Joseph, and put bday balloons on the manger.
:laugh:
Oh, dear God. ... No offense to your mother intended, but ... oh, dear God. ...
No offense taken, I say the same thing when it goes up every year!
:laugh:
The only thing that could possibly be worse would be if she put a plastic illuminated Santa next to the Nativity set.
Please don't tell me she does that. ...
Chuckie, this Forum was not complete until now! Thank you for your definitive take on the holidays. The snappy chatter is vintage Chuck, and a real hoot! :laugh:
Please be sure to report your Mom's reaction to the party hats and balloons whenever you get up the nerve to do it. ;D ;D ;D

Here's an early tacky display.
I hope it's photo shopped, otherwise, Madonna has lost her mind!
The Average \smericans must have some leccy (electricity) bill at the end of Xmas!

Kelda, these pictures are not average at all! These are extreme, even by American standards.

It would be bad enough if these were light up Christmas trees.....but they're light up cacti.

Why bother to put lights on the house, when we can put them on the lawn?

I don't have the words.......

Who needs the North Pole, when you have New Jersey and Santa's workshop? This must be Santa's cousin, Guido.
