This afternoon I was leaving my subdivision to meet Megan for a ScrapFest! meeting at PJ's (our corporate office headquarters) and I saw the lawn ornament that I'm pretty sure will stalk my dreams. No visions of sugarplums here, just ostentatious Christmas decorations.
Before I get into that, I'll fill you in on the progress of planning ScrapFest! in March. Meg and I made a bunch of decisions, but the most pressing matter at this time was planning our company Christmas party. Really, we did a lot of planning and scheming, we are nothing if not workhorses for the man -- which in this case is ourselves, I suppose. Anyway, the ScrapFest company Christmas party will be a big shindig this year -- of course it will be catered and have an open bar, live music, ice sculpture of Michelangelo with eggnog flowing, photographer, a Santa, reindeer to feed, bags of swag, and we will draw names for gifts. I wish I could invite all of my readers, but unfortunately it is a company Christmas party. When Megan realizes she and I are the company, she may cancel the party, so don't tell her 'cause I really love eggnog and swag.
Back to my major holiday pet peeve: y'all won't belive what the owners of the house from my previous video put up today. I'll let the new video speak for itself.
Did you see it? Okay, first of all, do the people really think they need any more crap on their lawn? I think not. Second, where do you even buy a Santa/reindeer teeter-totter? And B, why would anyone make that? I know, I know -- capitalism and profit, but really, the Christmas lawn decorations are out of control. Please for the love of eggnog, stop it.
Now, I hate the obnoxious lawn decor, and I'm almost to the "if you can't beat them join them" philosophy, but I won't break that easily, peeps. It's going to take a lot more for me to fight them at their own game. I'm not above going out under the cover of night and removing and hiding (notice I did not say steal, because that would be wrong) all of the inflatable lawn decorations. I may even fashion dresses out of them for my portfolio for the next season of Project Runway, we shall see. If I do result to fighting fire with fire, I will seek out these:
and no, we are not Jewish, but Jesus was and I think He would approve. I think they will look great on my lawn. Oh, and the neighbors will be so jealous, they may put up Kwanzaa decorations. I really wouldn't doubt it.
