Christmas Decor

I have found over the last few years that my excitement over christmas decoration, music, seasonal stuff in general (including snow which is unfortunately all too absent from my current location so I must away to CO for the holiday and cross my fingers) has been on the increase, then I got to wondering about the folks here. See people are often surprised to find how seasonal I can be around the holidays so I thought I'd see if you folks could surprise us or not with your holiday season spirit or lack thereof.

Thanks for you participation

Christmas decor is like churches...
... ripe for burning

Merry Christmas

About four years ago my best friend and I hijacked my stepmom's plastic Santa. It was about two weeks before Christmas and quite honestly I was offended that my house (not her house, the filthy cunt, MY house) would have such a distasteful decoration, lit up for the people who turned around in our driveway to see.

Anyways, we took Santa and decided he should visit this little "island" out in the middle of the pond. There was only an inch thick layer of ice on most of the pond, so we hopped in the canoe and began paddling out. Within the first hundred feet of ice my friend completely busted his wooden paddle and we had to head back in to find something else. After a quick search of the basement we decided that he would use a barbell to stab the ice and pull the canoe forward with while I tried to keep the momentum going with a padde in back. Somehow, our dumb asses made it out to this island. If we fell in the water we were fucked, plain and simple. The canoe sagged the whole way in that water. We had no more problems than the way over, Santa was deposited and would be stuck on that island for weeks, until the pond froze over quite well at least.

Man, was my stepmom pissed. I think my dad found it to be slightly humorous, except he had to deal with the bitch.

Yeah, that's what I think of decorations. Pretty to look at as long as it does not make me look stupid.

Dickel is great for christmas decor

For starters, main courses and desserts.

It even adds christmassy aroma if sprinkled liberaly on the tree or the guests.

WooHoo

when you have young ones in the house, you gotta have some xmas spirit. so we decorate the house, the windows, the porch, etc. but we're not psycho enough to climb up on rooftops or have moving shit in our yard. just the lights and tree, thanks.

I have yet to have time to decorate, but since exams will be over by the end of this week, I think I'll go for it. Now that VA has lifted the ban on real Xmas trees in apartments and condos, I think I'll get a real tree so I can have the satisfaction of chucking it in the dumpster when all is said and done.
Quite a few of my neighbors have done up their porches as well. I don't think we're allowed to decorate anything but our proches and windows since I live in a townhouse, but I may do some lights in the windows

I put some up.. because I enjoy it.. although I wouldnt go so far as to say spare no expense. and as morgana said.. a lot of the excitement is for the babies.

I put up my tree on Friday, my wreath right after Thanksgiving, a few odds and ends sprinkled about the house, and I'll have lights framing my living room window as soon as my new curtains arrive. And that's that!

Of course, aside from the multicourse dinner I'm hosting -- food and friends are the best decor.

By the way, why would live Christmas trees be banned for apartments and condos? And why decorations unallowed on porches and such? I'm so glad to live in Crackerville sometimes . . .

I put up my stocking, which is so large I can literally use it as a sleeping bag.

Ok, I'll be honest. I'm disgusted with myself for the amount of fawning I do over Lu, but I just had an image of a bigass stocking hung from the mantle in my childhood home, with Lu poking out of the top of it. While it wasn't apparent in the mental image, I knew she was wearing stockings in there, presumably inspired by her use of the word "stocking". It was an altogether pleasant image.

So stop being such an attention whore, you plaigerizing slut. Or something.

Does this mean I'm a wank gnome?

Over 4,000 lights on and about the house.
Every year, they go out and buy hundreds more.

I take umbrage at your baseless slandering of my porn collection. It is one of the finest collections of porn in New England, possibly the eastern seaboard...though I suspect RiZZ may have a fairly daunting collection.

If anything, it means they need better chicks in porn, because it's tough to match Lu for combined physical attractiveness and apparent perversion of spirit. Plus she's a bad girl. Bibliographies are for squares.
