The Christmas Crazy House

[jeannev]

Last year, I posted some pictures of my house, done up for Christmas, and you guys seem to get a kick out of my animal menagerie, which, SURPRISE, has grown this year!  And I haven't even gotten my light up Rhino yet.  Yes, you read that right!  I did restrain myself from also purchasing the Christmas alligator, and the Christmas Hippo....for now

I want to live in your house.

Forever.

OK. I've got the space.

But Chip will need to get along with Dash and Flynn.

Incredible! Must put a smile on your neighours' faces every time they go by.

I especially love the Bumble.

[jeannev]

Most of my neighbors decorate as well. In fact, the guy across the street has a penguin family I've been eyeballing.

The funniest thing about the Bumble is that he's furry, like a stuffed animal. So, he needs to stay on the porch, otherwise he'd be a mess.

So great! It must take forever to get everything put up! Is that fun or does it stress you out?

[jeannev]

Honestly, setting up the animals doesn't take too long. The lights around the porch, and the garage, are more of a pain in the ass. The most challenging thing is figuring out the plug situation. This year, it took me about 3 days, and my sisters helped out.

According to this guy, that Bumble is the Ted Bundy of Christmas. I had to look the Bumble up; I always disliked all those stop motion animated Christmas specials. I suppose it was because everyone was so shaky; they needed confidence

Oh, well now you've gone and done it! I want a Christmas dinosaur now. Curses!

As for that guy about the Bumble, he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. In fact, I would say it was that little "dentist" that was the true sadist. Here's the Bumble, just minding his own business out in the frozen tundra. He's a carnivore, and he has to survive, so does that make him a bad guy for eating any reindeer that cross his path? I think not! And so he's just going to do what nature designed him to do, and suddenly this twisted little elf comes along and makes him unable to fend for himself in the wild anymore. So, he becomes a damned pet!

Now, tell me who the real "Ted Bundy" is? ;)

Ooooh! Look at all the pretties! Your home looks gorgeous all decked out for the holidays. I miss getting to do more since moving to my apartment so I love any chance I get to see homes decorated to the max.

Thanks very much. Honestly, there are so many times I long for the simplicity of apartment living. A house is a ton of work, and not just around the holidays.

It's nice for a short while but that gets old too. The good thing was I didn't have to argue, beg and plead for my lazy ex to fix something, I just called the office and it got fixed. Now I'm ready for my own place again, I miss all the tinkering in the yard and special projects. Keeps my mind outta trouble. ;)

Any big birthday plans coming up??

[jeannev]

No, none really. How sad, right?
