Deck The Halls

I am a Christmas decorating junkie. There I've said it. I feel much better. Raise your hand if you are too. I know I'm not alone in this. I can't be the only one with more than 25 Rubbermaid bins full of snowmen, oranments, lights and garland. The collection gets bigger every year. It's starting to become a problem, especially since this house is half the size as our last one. But not to worry, there is still some spots that have not been Christmased. I can continue to add to my collection for a few more years. After that I will need to purchase a seperate residence for all my holiday cheer, which is the ultimate goal: a Christmas house. A house just for Christmas. Ah, to dream.

This year, however, I have been challenged. After seeing my impressive yet tasteful outdoor lighting our neighbors went and purchsed some lights of their own. For the first time. Our adorable moving reindeer has been put to shame by their TWO new moving reindeer. We put wreaths and bows on every window. They answered with candles in all of theirs. The battle has begun. And now the bow is missing from my mailbox. Good move neighbors. Let's see what else you got ....

My plan to win this: sneak over to their house with the most hideous decorations I can find and redecorate for them. I will make their house the ugliest in the neighboorhood .... hee hee.

Jon's plan to win this: get a snow making machine and invite their kids to sled down Palmer hill. Ooh, I bet they can't top that one. (Gosh I love that man!)

Either way, we got this one in the bag!
