Countdown to Christmas.... The Dry Cleaners is Decorated!

.

20 Days Until Christmas

 

 

I went to the Dry Cleaners that Bill works at for a while the past couple of days so that I could help him decorate for Christmas. How do you think we did?

 

It's just a little tree, but it sure is pretty.

It will have gifts under it in a few days. =)

 

 

 

 

So, now all we have to do is finish our decorations at home! How are your decorations coming along? Leave me a link and I'll come over and take a look. I just LOVE Christmas decorations.

 

Be safe and sane.....

Countdown to Christmas..... Griswald House in my Neighborhood

.

 

29 Days until Christmas.....

So, I really LOVE Christmas decorations and lights..... up to a point.

Right around the corner from our house, there is a Griswald house... you know the kind, decorated to within an inch of it's life. This house is so tacky, I hate it... but every year the decorations go up and traffic comes driving by and even stops - causing a back-up almost every night.
 
Well, this is how it starts out... and what it looks like during the day. Have you noticed the candy canes on the sidewalk that line the street? They go almost the entire length of the street (there's one house on the end that is a hold-out).
 
At night it looks like a landing strip on the way to our house... plus it is SO bright. I'll post night photos later in the month when all the decorations are done.

Do you see the white shade on the windo on the right? Notice the bench on the grass, too... Christmas movies play all evening long on that shade.

There is even a 24 hour "A Christmas Story" marathon on that shade - we can see Ralphie right around the corner.

 

 

 

So, what do you think of this house? How much is too much? Let me know, and PLEASE share any links to photos of Griswald houses in your area.

 

Stay safe and sane, my friends.....
