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.

Thank you Chuckie!  :-*

I laughed so hard. I went over to the living room and told my husband to come and see your display of tackiness. He was as thrilled as I was.

En passant you relived a tradition from my childhood, when we used to drive through the American village near us in Advent, to see their incredible Christmas decorations.

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

And you have to take a picture for us. 

I'm already looking forward to next year.  Hope your mom has a sense of humor.  :)

Thanks for posting this.

Here's an early tacky display.


I hope it's photo shopped, otherwise, Madonna has lost her mind!
