Bah humbug?

Why must they be mutually exclusive?
Life is too short...

The power company loves us too. My electric bill increases to the typical summer time bill during the Christmas season - and I live in Arizona.

Ha ha. No, I've got a couple lights up.
That was from a story posted here.
The guy's neighbors complained about his huge annual Christmas display.
So he opted for a Grinch this year, causing more complaining.
(He's from Calif. Maybe you can visit!)
Ps. Nice 'home' page!

Melissa Williams, an owner of Christmas Done Bright in Sevierville, Tenn., said customers, particularly middle-aged men, "want to decorate everything. They compete with their brothers and neighbors."

Kissing cousins to the guys who soup up lawn mowers and race them around for prizes ;-).

I saw a snowman like yours on a balcony of a townhouse in Houston and thought it looked pretty cool. I have an inflatable Santa and Rudolph in my front yard which looks pretty nifty. The only problem is during the day when it looks like I killed Santa and dumped in the the front yard.

[Thinkin' Gal]

In Monte Sereno, Calif., a couple whose huge display attracted thousands of passers-by angered neighbors and led the city council to require a permit for any exhibit lasting longer than three days. This year, the yard holds a 10-foot Grinch, its spiny finger pointing at the house of the neighbors who initiated the complaints.

Spirit of Christmas ping.
