Hi, friends!

How is your day going?

I have nothing to talk about but I did drive past an awesome holiday display where there was a light up inflatable menorah next to a light up inflatable triceratops!

Anything really fun in decorations near you? Are you the fun house on the street?

  1. Like a Charlie Brown Xmas, I’m in repeat mode here…

    I’m the non believer grinch on my street… actually one of many in my neighborhood because there are a lot of East Indians and Asians living here who look at white Jeebus and Santa with confusion.

    Also, for some reason the neighborhood also has a lot of dour West Indies and African Fundies who look at North American Xmas as a sin.

    I live next door to the Xmas house which is covered in lights.

    From what I’ve heard my ex-housemate tells the story of how I’m such a humorless grinch because I don’t like lights and real Xmas trees. He leaves out the part of him promising to dispose of said tree and tear down the lights but the grinch ended up tearing both down in a rage after he realized ex-housemate didn’t follow up on anything he said he would do a month after Xmas (I missed the local xmas tree pickup deadline, but the garbage guys were kind enough to dispose of it for me anyway.)

    You're a jackass, Manchu Grinch, 
You're the king of tree disposing light downing assholes, 
Your heart's an unbeliever's black hole splotched with responsibility, Manchu Grinch, 
Your soul is an blackened dung heap overflowing with the most disgraceful 
Assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots! 

You nauseate me, Manchu Grinch, 
With a nauseous super "naus"! 
You're a crooked know-it-all and you smugly drive an EV, Manchu Grinch, 
You're a three decker rageaholic, spite and shit sandwich with bittrix sauce!

     

  2. I live in a condo, so i don’t decorate outside except a wreath on my door. Inside i put up a fake tree. It’s black, with red lights. The ornaments are a mix of vintage (either from my childhood or my mom’s), or kooky blown glass, like a headstone, a rubber ducky, and the “Mystic Seeker” from the Twilight Zone. Boggs is actually pretty good about the tree. He mostly screws around in the tree skirt and hunts me from underneath.

  3. I’ve got the most lights up on the block, white and colored lights, but nowhere near level of crazy display I dream of.

    There are houses in my area which go absolutely mad, and I love it.

  4. We haven’t put up outside Xmas lights yet but I know that is coming this weekend rain or shine.  Inside our house looks like a Xmas decoration store exploded.  My wife loves decorating for each holiday & we have 6 to 8 giant boxes of decorations we have to bring in from the garage.  She even changed out all the couch pillows & place mats.  I just try to not make bad comments & keep her from burning down the house w/ the 10,000 candles!

  5. When I was a kid I loved breaking out all of the decorations for each holiday of the year. I must have burned myself out because I don’t give Shit One about decorating anymore. For Christmas Mrs Butcher will run a fake pine garland with some small white lights around the sunroom, and will plug in one of her porcelain trees and call it good.

  6. I thought that I already posted this, but do not see it. Does anyone remember who was going to do a Holiday Brain Drain with me? They were going to do TV and movies and I was doing books? Please raise your hand if it was you? Thank you.

  7. We put up decorations today.  The wife had me draw a 2-dimensional xmas tree in led lights on the side of the house, so I’m out there like Clark Fucking Griswald in the cold.  Funny part is that there is absolutely nobody to see the decorations because we live above 5 miles past the middle of nowhere. We’re literally on the outskirts of nowhere.  The sheep will see it though, and it will light my way when I stumble outside to pee which I have been doing in an effort to keep the bears away.  If I’m found mauled to death with my pecker in my hand, you’ll know why.

  8. We are super lazy and keep our tree up all year round – just moved it into the center of the big window and plugged it into the timer this past weekend. When the season is over – it’s unplugged and moved back into the corner.
