I have a rather strong distate for being told, not 'asked' if we
would like to participate in anything. We always decorate our outside
trees and spreading yews. Our outside outlet is under our dining room-,
and nowhere near the garage peak between our town homes. Something could
be rigged up, but not by me or my husband. Backs are too bad. My
daughter is going to do the lights this year, and most of the shopping,
wrapping etc, already.
Now 100 lights, plus all the others, with a timer yet, that we don't
have, and hours for on-off, is a bit like a teacher telling the kiddies
what we can do, or not do.. What if we had already placed our order for
another wreath, and horrors, another size!!!? What of the people that do
not decorate or celebrate Christmas?-We'll pay for the wreath, as we
hadn't ordered yet. but by gum , I'm not about to add another chore to
my daughter's lengthy list! Scrooge or the Grinch? Maybe, but I don't
care for forced fun. |

Tell them you are actually a Druid and you worship trees and resent
that they are trying to destroy them ! It's sacreligous to you!!!
Or, reply as when someone tells me when I'm feeling grouchey "HAVE A
NICE DAY!" I'LL smile and say thanks, but I have other plans! I have a big plastic Santa in his sleigh being
pulled by one poor plastic reindeer and I think it's CUTE!!! We plop that out
there along with a house Mike built, and a bunch of fake Christmas trees and
light 'em all up... Add the lights all over thouse house and you could use our
front lawn to guide an airplane in! And it looks GREAT!!!!! No makin fun of the
plastic....!!!! I do not like being told what to do either. and this neighbor hood
conform stuff seems to always be a pet project of somebody with too
much money and way to much time on their hands.
Every year I threaten to get the little wooden peeing boy, throw a
wreath around his neck, and light up is pecker and pee. |
