If Tim Gunn Were In Charge, This Would Never Happen


Oh, boy.

Oh, wow.

Oh, no, no, no…this is wrong. This is just so, so wrong.

Thank you, “Mr. and Mrs. Neighbor”, from your neighbor across the street. You have officially negated any good feelings I have about the holiday season with your lawn display.

You restrained yourself last year with those nice white net lights across the roof and the porch, and they looked lovely. It was a tasteful holiday display.

Anyway, this is just a question…what the hell did you stuff in your Thanksgiving turkey that gave you the idea to line your home and garage in multi-colored lights that blink simultaneously to a disco beat of 80 “beats per minute”?

Oh, and what were you smoking after you had your pumpkin pie when you put up that lawn snow globe that actually pumps out “Let It Snow” as if it were sung by The Chipmunks?

It’s really reminiscent of going through Walt Disney World when I was a teen, and I couldn’t get “It’s A Small World” out of my head for years. I’m pretty sure my brain and ears are still recovering from that aural damage.

So, if you could, please do the neighborhood a favor, ‘kay?

Be a good neighbor, and turn those awful lights, music and snow globe off.

Like, until January.

That’s all I’m asking.

Kisses,

Dee

Maybe there should be a house decoration reality show!

If it were down the block, I wouldn't really care, but this display is right across the street.

And, really...it's scaring the cats! ;*)
