Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations. The good news is that I truly outdid myself this year. The bad news is that I had to take them down after only two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the ladder and almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). She was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard. I think I made him too real this time . But it was fun while it lasted. ;)

If that word wraps, try this Tiny-URL of the same picture:
Hey that almost happened to me...... The one end of the house overhanging 1-1/2storys up from flat ground, ladder just a bit to short& sinking into soft ground, reaching one handed to plug in the lights & tie off the cord to the gutter downspout, wind blowing like crazy, fingers freezing. A brave person would have done it from the roof- not me. This year, the wife finds those deer figures. I put em up in the front yard, pull in the next day & someone put one on top of the other- hump'en! - nice message for the little girls next door. WTH?
T'was the Month Before Christmas When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying Nor taking a stand.
Why the PC Police had taken away The reason for Christmas - no one could say. The children were told by their schools not to sing About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things. It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say December 25th is just a ' Holiday '. Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it! CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod Something was changing, something quite odd! Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.
