  Priceless. You have just made my day!

We laughed so hard we cried!

I am tempted to make one of those in a Santa suit... sleigh on the roof, Santa hanging on the gutter.

[dwcrawford]

I'm thinking I've been a bit too maudlin lately -- even for my own taste.  I want a Santa coming off the roof leaving with a bag (like he's robbing the house)... carrying a wide screen tv, stereo equipment with string down wires... hehe.  Something dropped on the ground below.  Somebody could do that???  That is so cool.

I have a santa with a dog with him hold by the seat of his pants.  His pants are pulled down a bit and you see his underwear with Christmas trees on it.  I have sen one where santa is hanging on the roof!!

we have a santa who dances and wiggles his butt! Its so damn cute lol

[dwcrawford]

hehe.   I have a little one, a foot or so tall, who says "I've got a special surprise for you"  and then he turns arouund, drops his pants and moons you.  A la Sir Ken.   

And that is just so rude... who wants it?

Speaking of Christmas spirit:  Who'll make hot ginerbread with lemon/rum sauce and let me come over?  Continental US only as I have to use FFM.

Aww, couldn't you have just put up a BIG sign saying "Caution, things aren't always what they seem to be."  Or " I love a guy who likes to hang around."

Great photo and story.

Yeah! My Tree is Up and all Decorated. Hubby, went to D, Yesterday, Morning and I pulled the Tree and all the Stuff out. He came Home and Napped, while I did the Tree. Eight Hours, it took Me. I finished, the Tree just at the same time, He was done Napping. I asked Him how it looked and He said, " That Tree topper is Leaning a little to the Left " " Now, it's Leaning to much to the Right " " Push it up a little " No, Pull it down a little " ------ Christmas is Here!  Let the Fun, begin!

We put up our tree yesterday.  Step daughter and her family came for the weekend.  They live about two hours away.  Both the grand kids were "taken" with the tree.  The three year old could grasp the concept of not to touch the tree, but eh one yeaer old just couldn't quit get it.  Yesterday afternoon, when no one was looking he walked up to the tree grabed an orament (a pengiun) and walked over to his grandmother and handed it up to her.  This is particuarly funny as she collects pengiun related objects.

Once again, I've been disqualified from my neighborhood's "Best Decorated House" contest due to my bad attitude!

[kitkatz]

That pic made me laugh. Great decoration.  Put a reindeer up there taking a crap and you have a scene.

Christmas on a budget this year.

Look at the house on the right....

[jbeany]

   Love the ditto!

There's a guy in Grand Rapids who did the whole LED synced to music show with his house last year.  The neighbors were unhappy because of the traffic backups.  So this year, he convinced them to let him do all the houses, and the music is synced to several songs that travel through the whole neighborhood to keep the traffic moving.  He spent $35,000 of his own money to buy all the lights and computers.  (Sounds wasteful, but they put out collections bins and have collected more than that for a local charity already.)  I wanted to go see it, but it was over an hour away from my sister's house - kind of a long drive for 10 minutes of viewing!

[okarol]

I took these photos of some VERY decorated houses near us... must have heavy duty utility bills!

[okarol]

Thought you might enjoy this, it is pretty funny.....
Type in any Christmas song and see what the little puppets do.   Also, type in any non-Christmas song (I typed in Happy Birthday) and you'll get a kick out of the response.

Here's an excellent Christmas recipe!

Jose Cuervo Christmas Cookies

1 cup of water

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup of sugar

1 tsp salt

1 cup or brown sugar

4 large eggs

1 cup nuts

2 cups of dried fruit

1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila

Sample the Cuervo to check quality.

Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.

Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one peastoon of sugar. Beat again.

At this point it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still ok, try another cup just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy.

Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit off the floor.

Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaters just pry it loose with a drewscriver.

Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who geeves a sheet.

Check the Jose Cuervo.

Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.

Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.

Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner.

Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the wishdasher.

Cherry Mistmas !
