I believe there's a diagnosed mental disorder there...

There was a house nearby that did stuff like this--her lawn was absolutely COVERED with random Christmas stuff. It looked like a WalMart had exploded on her front yard. Best part was that all of the lawn decorations had seen better days. Faded plastic angels, wooden soldiers with missing limbs, a nativity scene that was missing most of the manger animals so were substituted with teddy bears & assorted stuffed animals, bent candy canes--the works. It was like a life-sized circle-and-find game. Okay, can you spot the tired-looking Feliz Navidad donkey??

I love this kind of stuff. I wouldn't ever do it to my own house or want to live next door to the people who do it, but driving past the houses decorated with all the crazy, tacky Christmas crap everywhere is one of my favorite things about the season.

Nothing brings forth the majesty of Christ's birth than a pool surrounded by inflatable Christmas yard art.

Well, if it brings people joy...great. Frankly I haven't seen that much red and white since the tour at the Coca Cola factory.

Yeah, when I see the inside of that house covered in white and red Santas... Elves... Bows... reindeer...all those trips to Walmart and Big Lots... it just makes me think of Jesus.

That is so magnificent, she ought to think about keeping it up year round.

I didn't watch it all but if she STARTS decorating in JULY, how long does it take her to take it all down?

I don't feel so bad about making my Christmas tree out of Jager bottles now.

Gyrfalcon: At least its INSIDE the house, where no one has to see it except the poor unfortunates she invites over for Xmas parties. It kind of reminds me of the Crust Worm segment of Gears of War 2.

Yard isn't too bad tho.

When that yard "isn't too bad," I weep for our species.

Her husband is probably alive, but bailed after a few years of having to put on a Santa suit just to bang her--and never getting more than cookies and milk in return.

I like that her "Spirit of Christmas" involves thousands of dollars on worthless decoration instead of giving to charity. Ho ho ho

Thegreaser: Got a pic of that?

I do. Clearly it's not as impressive as it sounds.

Of course.

Gelatinous: That family ages pretty well.

Plas...tic...surgery.

Nakito: Surely you're not saying we have the resources to save the poor from their lot?

Well of course, there will be poor always, pathetically struggling. You really should look at the good things you've got.

Try not to get worried. Try not to turn onto problems that upset you.

What exactly do peppermints and reindeer have to do with Jesus?


The Magi rode reindeer to the manger, bearing gifts of Gold, Frankenstein and Altoids.
