In the true spirit of Christmas, tonight my cousin and I decided to partake in one of our favorite holiday activities, looking at Christmas lights. Except we don't look at them to admire, we look at them to mock. Tonight D decided that he is going to make up a point system for the winner. If they have two incarnations of Santa, they get 5 points. If they have stray blinkers plus chaser lights, they get 7 points. If they have Santa and Frosty at the birth of Jesus, they get 15 points. You get the picture.
A sampling of what we saw tonight:
Santa cracking his whip at moving reindeer
moving reindeer
three white, colorless wisemen surrounded by Frosty and Santa
blue blinking lights
green rope lights leading up the stairs, looking like a cheap bar in the back woods
lit up trains that have wheels that move in locomotion - they actually hurt your eyes
a penguin that moved in and out of a giant igloo
a snow globe with fake snow blowing around in it
and to top it all off - a life size Mr. and Mrs. Claus crowding a front porch with no earthly way to pass it
We decided that white icicle lights are nice, classy. If you have colored lights that don't blink and are straight - they can be nice. Any blue lights or red lights should be banned.
And I truly apologize if anyone feels offended by this (maybe your family is the family with the random blinker and chaser lights). Christmas is truly one of my favorite times of year. But you know what - it's pretty fun to mock bad Christmas lights. You should try it. And let me know if you have any over 20 points. :)
