Christmas Ornaments (or the impending death thereof)…A Continuing Series

14 direct complaints to Mr Lady regarding Holidays and such

My Christmas tree has issues.

I mean, it just can’t find it’s motivation. There is no theme; no one idea that it fully subscribes to. It’s all over the place.

We put it up the other day (if you give me shit about the fake tree, I’ll stab you with something dull).

We got it all decorated, too.It’s really lovely. And inviting. If you happen to be into music

or a foodie

yep, that’s an Idaho spud on my tree. Yep, I’m a dork), or into abstract art or a fan of the animals native to Africaor interested in the sites of North Americaor feel the overwhelming need to buy your daughter-in-law ornaments ONLY in triangular shapes or just awesomely into Batman

well, this tree has got you covered. There is something for everyone. And there are lots of somethings for a two-year-old to smash into tiny bits, which is the best part of Christmas, really.

I think it looks great. Did the kids enjoy decorating it?

V-They LOVED it.

Hubs, clearly you are NOT my husband. He hates that I do it. Well, that settles that!

Retro, that one was just for you, sugar.

Dawn, I tweek this site more than I rearrange furniture. It’s a compulsion. It’s that or eating Ding Dongs. (Honestly, I’m, going to eat them regardless…)

that’s the best kind of tree- just like mine with ornaments from wherever. Whenever I stroll through Macys or Sears or Home Depot where they have these trees that are decorated with a “theme”, I keep telling myself, “Maybe next year”….

Real tree. Check.
Random ornaments. Check.
Things for two-year olds to smash. Check.

We can still be friends.

Thanks, Hucks.

Sorry, Hubs. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

M’sMom, NEVER go theme. Whack-job is way more fun.

Alison, ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A WAY OUT? Or, DUH.

D, thanks. It’s the best way to tree, I think. The pickle kicks serious ass.

We got rid of our artificial and were talking about getting a real one. Then we saw the prices of the real ones. The real ones that you THROW. AWAY.

We’ll be buying a new artificial tree this week.

Great looking family you got, Mr Lady!!

Do you ever do the traditional German pickle ornament thing? (At least I think it’s German. Or my mom could have made it up.) You hang it somewhere on the tree and whoever finds it first gets a special little present. I always thought that was fun.

And no, I’m not looking for a way out. I just thought I’d keep you informed. Hugs :)
