I’m getting out the trees, lights, yard characters, and all the shit in the attic that has to do with Christmas… My wife buys more shit every year.. Thought I was done after all my girls got married and left home but nooooo… We have to do it for the grandkids… This is one of my least favorite days of the year followed by putting it all up… GET OFF MY LAWN!! I just need to vent.. I’ll be okay… [Reply]

My adult son keeps talking about getting a skeleton blowup for Halloween and then leaving it up for Christmas by decorating it as Jack Skelton from Nightmare Before Christmas. :-) [Reply]
We put up the Christmas tree and decorated the inside the Saturday after Thanksgiving. My youngest son, 14, brought all the bins in from the garage by himself without us having to ask. My oldest boy, 15, took them back to the garage Sunday morning. Again, we didn't have to ask. Color me shocked. I put the tree together, arrange the branches, and pass out ornaments to hang. The kids and wife do the decorating.
Somehow, this year I managed to drop and break an ornament that we got my oldest for his first Christmas. I felt like a complete dick as I sat there fixing it. It put the damper on the whole experience for me. After that, I didn't even feel like doing the outside lights. Maybe this weekend. [Reply]
