@yakkoTDI I legit hope Meh sells shirts again. I’ve lost like 60 pounds since I bought them last time and need to get new ones! My green and blue shirts are my favs
@FightingMongoos@Pony@yakkoTDI
I hope Meh sells comfortable Meh shirts again, and brings back some of the novelty designs, like Christmas ones and birthday sprinkles ones, etc.
@FightingMongoos@Pony@yakkoTDI
Congrats on your weight loss. (Hopefully it was an effort on your part and not the result of some negative life-changing event).
@Lynnerizer we don’t do anything super fancy, just lights around the eaves/roofline on the house, garage and barn, plus the windows on the house and one huge tree out front. It does look very pretty, though. Especially when it’s snowy.
I was always the one who did the lights at all our previous houses, but I just can’t do ladders anymore. My knees won’t let me. And my husband just doesn’t have the free time to mess with it.
That reminds me, I need to get my skeletons out of storage, dress them up in Christmas lights, and hang them outside the window for that festive cheer.
Joking aside, I’ll probably put up some colored lights in December
@Wireball_ I was hoping to hear more about the skeletons in the closet. Maybe a 1-hour Dateline program where you hear from police investigators and medical examiners, and in the end it doesn’t conclude with a conclusion (is that a thing?) and then you question your own life and life choices. And then you watch another program offering counseling for your life and life choices.
@Wireball_ We have a couple of life-sized skeletons that sit at our dining room table year round. At Christmas time they wear Santa hats. Putting lights on them is a good idea, I’ll have to do that!
We live in a very rural area, no kids around. I have to buy our meat at the grocery store. Sigh.
Maybe go move to where Hansel and Gretel lived? Then all you’d have to do is buy bread or the makings for bread. That would be way cheaper than having to buy meat. Problem solved. You are welcome.
I’d say we haven’t started, but we didn’t take down one of the strings of lights last year, so I guess we are on a roll. Now to decide how much other decorating we will do. I haven’t gone all out for the holidays in quite some time.
I don’t decorate outside, it’s too cold. This is my first year with a Xmas tree and I can’t wait to put it up and decorate it, I bought a bunch of bulbs on clearance last year and have been collecting for a while.
@Star2236
Isn’t it fun to get into the Christmas spirit and be excited about decorating! My last BIG HURRAH was the year before the Covid vaccine, Oh what a blast that was!
@Kyeh I bought one of the 10’ Bumbles from Lowes. Kind of imposing standing in the living room by itself, but blends in with the rest of the decorations up. (Skelly is taller, but much more, um… slender.)
It’s 23 degrees outside and I just rode my scooter down to the fence by the road so I could get a photo of our place with the lights up. Not the best pic- you can’t really even see the mini lights around the windows and garage doors, but you get the idea. Maybe my hubby can get something better with his fancy camera.
@cfg83 oh they will get baubles to much on tomorrow. and now I’m going down the rabbit hole to find a Cajun or alligator ugly sweater so thanks for that!
I’m almost finished! Two of our dogs took exception to one another over god only knows what this morning and I accidentally stuck my hand where it shouldn’t have gone trying to get hold of a collar. So now I have a lovely puncture on my hand and two dogs who are glued to me trying to apologize.
No. I still need to find my Christmas Meh shirts.

@FightingMongoos @yakkoTDI They just sold them yesterday at the end of the Mehrethon.

Our outside lights got put up yesterday and today. We have them done by a local company.
@Pony
Oh yeah fancy fancy… I love it! Sure hope you share some pictures when it’s ready for viewing!

@Pony
It must be beautiful, nothing wrong with simple!
And I agree, there’s nothing like Christmas lights twinkling in the snow!

@phendrick
Spot on, I love it!
Yes. Same as Halloween and Thanksgiving and every other day of the year.

@Pony @Wireball_
Pony, are you THAT neighbor where all the kids hang out, or do they make bets on who’s going to go up and knock on the door? 🫣
Lol…
Just kidding, your home sounds great, fun and exciting! Filled with personality!

I love the wit, you never disappoint!

@Lynnerizer
It is.
We have everything waiting to go but as a rule we don’t start until Thanksgiving after dinner.
No, I don’t celebrate Christmas.
Here’s something for the people who have the 10’ skeleton at Halloween. My sister’s friend took this photo in the At Home store.
@Kyeh I’m gonna have an angry Englishman if I find one of those!
@sillyheathen
Which one?
@Kyeh I bought one of the 10’ Bumbles from Lowes. Kind of imposing standing in the living room by itself, but blends in with the rest of the decorations up. (Skelly is taller, but much more, um… slender.)
@walarney Wow! So it’s an indoor decoration? Where will it live the rest of the year?
@Kyeh @walarney
Where will it live? In your dreams of course.

@Pony Pretty! The tree is especially nice.
@Pony love this so bloody hard! I’m such a ridiculous Christmas/winter solstice kid!
It has begun! And of course our prelit tree is behaving like an awkward teenager!
@sillyheathen Yay, the XMas Gators!
/showme Alligator dressed in ugly Christmas sweater and drinking egg nog.
@cfg83 oh they will get baubles to much on tomorrow.
and now I’m going down the rabbit hole to find a Cajun or alligator ugly sweater so thanks for that!
@cfg83
Tree is pretty much done. I will post pictures of the rest of the crazy tomorrow.
I did pick up a little try for the office space though!
Well, I’m working on it!
@therealjrn
I’ve always loved that playful aesthetic… Sort of like the witch crashing into the tree Halloween decorations.
@chienfou ha ha, yeah, me too
