PUT IT AWAY!!!

That's what I was worried about. But gym teacher "cared" because she lived in our neighborhood and drove by the house every day. I didn't even know she lived there until she pulled me into her office.

Your teacher was overly "concerned". Sheesh. People decorate the front of their lawns everyday. Maybe you should have made up a story about how the bow was hung in honor of <insert dead relative's name here> who died of <insert disease here> and how dare she criticize it because blah, blah and more blah? Not that I'm advocating suckiness on an epic level. But that might have changed your teacher's tune, and the look on her face would have been priceless!

It's probably an urban legend but, in our neighborhood there's the story of the "Snowmen Who Will Not Die."

They're said to be the hard, plastic kind on the porch roof of a house. After the Christmas season they mutate.

For Valentine's Day they carry pink and white hearts.

For St. Patrick's Day, they're decorated with foil shamrocks.

At Eastertime they sprout bunny ears and carry baskets of eggs.

From Memorial Day (End of May) through Labor Day (First Monday in September) they carry American flags.

For Halloween they wear masks

For Thanksgiving, They carry pumpkins and indian corn.

Then, it's back to Christmas.

Always, these eternal Snowmen are said to be in a neighborhood some distance away that's not worth visiting just to see the Snowmen.

whatever, it's a neat story.

Hmm, sounds like deranged mutant killer monster snow goons to me. I'd stay away from those there parts, if'n I were ye.

I kept my christmas lights up for one reason and one reason only.

"Hello, Pizza Delivery? It's the (Surname) Household. One usual, please. Oh, you got a new delivery person? I'll turn the lights on, then. Thank you! Goodbye!"

Worked like a charm.

Of course, now I have the RV. When i get the money I'm going to get some lights to hang of my canopy. What do you guys think? Cacti or Flamingos?

Better get the garden hose and freeze them all.

[Becks]

Cacti or Flamingos?

You had to ask?

Both, of course.
