On Oct 30 I cut it back considerably to make room for a spider display. Then decided it would also be in my way for my deer display so I cut it down completely. i would have to say that cutting down your prized foliage for holiday displays makes me a display freak.

[Sickie Ickie]

I'd agree with that. Here Here!

[Rybcon]

Not directly a display, but last year we started thinking how we hadn't used our wedding china for several years. So we sold it and bought a 12 setting Christmas china set. We already use it more and as part of our decorating we'll keep the dining room table set throughout the holidays.

Instead of looking up the Good Housekeeping cookbook recipes. You search Christmas Fan Club for recipes.

Thanks Putrid, your Oatmeal was great this morning. I think I overdid the pepper flakes though!!!

You realize it's been two days since you logged into Christmasfanclub and you get upset with yourself.

Your the only one on Christmasfanclub at the moment talking to yourself. Waiting for a response from yourself. Thanks Jay. No thank you!

When you look at your 8 year old roof (that has a 25 year warranty) and realize it is looking a bit worn from all the traffic on it because of your OWN feet walking all over it to place decorations!

I believe that warranty says, no stapling into roof shingles!

When, you walk outside in February and find lights on the ground and put them in a ziploc bag marked, "spares". Right next to the Ziploc bag marked, " Twist ties for lights" that you get out of bread wrapper and such.

LOL, I like that one! :)

Thank goodness, I had to spell February three times. Darn R in there. I guess it was all worth it!

You find a string of lights inside your pool when you uncover it???? What the, how the heck did those get in there. I could have used them.
