Shall I go to heaven or a-fishing? H. D. Thoreau Purveyor of Fine Avatars to the Discerning Nor'east Cognoscenti RAIBS Election Rigging Czar Looney Tunes Curator
I normally get at least a 10 or 11 foot tall monster tree since the apartment has 12 foot ceilings but mothers new thing these days is the trees gonna catch fire and we'll all perish , so the past 2 yrs we've just put up the little fiber optic one, its pretty though, hung the Christmas broom on wall next to tree, then there's the fiber optic Santa, of course Rudolph under the pretty poinsettia I got the other day ($4.99 in Pathmark!!), and my Christmas stuffed teddy bears and Mickey Mouse the Captain sitting on the back of the couch, Mickey's gonna be worth $$ some day, its a collectible limited edition Mickey I got at Macys Christmas of 2009 which is printed on his foot, then there's the singing snow man and woman, (they sing let it snow when u squeeze their hand)and another Santa who reads ""Twas the Night Before Christmas" when you squeeze his hand, and I put the wreathe on the wall just this morning, strung some garland on the wall, there's silk poinsettias that I wash off and stick in a vase, they're on the kitchen table, and Reilly Reindeer is on the back of one of the lounge chairs,, I still have tons more stuff but I think I pulled out enough (ya think!?)
Like Joe said its gonna be warm out so ill decorate the fire escape Monday or Tuesday, whichever day I don't jump on the MJ to do some toggin like I'm thinking of doin.
I just had a whole conversation with mother about the Christmas wreathe (she woke up and seeing it up made her day ), I knew this wreathe has been around a long time but I really didn't realize HOW long. At LEAST twenty years, probably more. She bought it in Consumers, do any of you remember Consumers? They went out of business I'd say twenty years ago, they were pretty much like Fingerhut, they sold EVERYTHING. But what's amazing me right now is NOT ONE SINGLE SOLITARY BULB on this wreathe has EVER gone out, not one, in over twenty yrs. Can anyone here explain that? Its amazing.
