Christmas should be classy not trashy

Its that time of year again that I loathe...waiting for certain lazy neighbors to take down their yuletide decorations! I think it's deplorable that people wait until after Dec 26th to take down their: inflatable snowmen, gaudy lights, painted plywood people, plastic candles and lighted reindeer. I've started a petition here locally to abolish and punish those who "trash up" instead of "class up" christmas.

This initial fine will be $250, is that steep enough? I value the input of friends and family like you.

Gail,

You and William are dead right on this one. How can I sign the petition or join your cause?

thanks,

Brian

I can understand your loathing for the tacky decorations such as the inflatable snowmen, plywood people, etc. Personally we don’t put up any of those yuletide decorations because we believe it’s tacky. However we do understand some people actually enjoy the holiday and maybe… just possibly... this is part of their way to celebrate it. In the spirit of celebration there are those people that the Christmas SEASON does not end the day after Christmas. The ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ actually go from Christmas day to the sixth of January so instead of thinking that your celebratory neighbors are ‘lazy’ you might want to think that they are still enjoying the SEASON. So maybe next year you can stop assuming they are lazy or just simply stop being a grinch.

I think that it would be interesting to have a tractor pull competition to see who can extract that knitting needle you have clenched in your overly-tight sphincter
