so my hedge lights are okay, but nothing spectacular. Especially
after one string shorted out and melted the plug, which sorta reduced the
wattage. So, like the gardener in winter, pouring over seed catalogs,
I'm already dreaming about what kind of Christmas display to put up next
year.... So here's my first idea. You guys tell me what you think. You've got your tree. You've got your pink flamingos. You've got your
Lifesize Plastic Elvis Doll. So you put the glowing plastic Elvis in the
tree, you play a continuous recording of "Blue Christmas", and you make a
line of pink plastic flamingos, starting down on the ground, then walking
up the tree (I love the mental picture of a line of plastic flamingos
attached perpendicular to the tree trunk) to Elvis, attracted by the
music. Of course the tree branches have Christmas lights in them as well.
And probably Elvis should be wearing a Santa costume, or at least a Santa
hat. |

-And don't put Elvis up a tree, he wouldn't be visible hidden in all
those branches. Why not get a glowing jukebox for him to dance on,
or maybe a big clock. Then you could also play "Rock around the Clock". I think the raindeer are a bit too much, don't you? We have enough
rain around here as it is. -A line of plastic flamingos conjures up an image of one carrying around a
bunch of them on a line, like fish one has just caught. Flamingos seem the
right direction, though.
Why stick with the Santa motif? Have a bunch of wise men, shepards,
animals, etc. with Elvis in the middle in a manger. The wise men are
presenting him with gifts of bacon cheeseburgers, banana and peanut
butter sandwiches, and prescription medication. (He says "Thankyaverymuch.")
Above the whole thing is an angel and some lights saying "Unto us The King
is born!" |
