I really get into the spirit around the holidays. I do. We have so much to be thankful for this year that it is not even funny.
But there are things that people do/that happen around this time of the year that make me cringe.
Oh, you want examples?
Okay.
Exhibit A.
Now, I'm all into decorating everything/anything that doesn't move around the holidays but this? This drives me crazy. Please don't randomly put a bow on my car. It looks so tacky to me. And the antlers that you can put on your car windows? Please, people. Grow up.
Something that did put a big fat smile on my face was FINALLY finding a string of battery operated lights to add to the wreath I made 2349 years ago.
That bad boy is hanging on our front door. And the best part? This $5 string of lights has a timer. It's amazing. I don't have to do anything. They come on for 6 hours and stay off for 18 hours. This makes the lazy in me happy. And? We haven't had to replace the batteries at all yet.
What else brings out my grinch face? Wrapping oddly shaped gifts. Like these-
Dear Fisher Price- Why can't you just make the box, a box? Why does it have to be all open and impossible to wrap? Please. Love-Ashley
I mean really? I don't like throwing gifts into gift sacks unless I have to. I like unwrapping gifts, so I figure most everyone else feels the same way.
This is the best I could do with those-
Stop laughing.
Something that really makes me happy? Is coming home from work to my warm house and seeing this every day-
You guys. We have a house. A warm one. We have nice things. We have this Christmas tree with lights and ribbon that I think the cat likes to re-arrange and family to be close to during the holidays.
It puts a big fat smile on my face.
