Does anyone else's mother get out every single piece of Christmas crap

[kexodusc]

Hey guys, just thought of a great idea for a thread...do you have a mom that puts out crappy Christmas stuff????

[kexodusc]

Bwa ha ha....yeah...my mom's got a weird thing for those Snow Babies statue thingy's. They're kinda kreepy, all pudgy and pale, eyes following you...And crappy old ornaments from when we were kids that mean nothing to my brother, sister, and I. Damn, if I were the parent I'd be embarrassed my kid could only make a crappy Christmas ornament that looked like ass and had macaroni stuck to it.

Oh well...that hokey, tacky crap is part of Christmas in my books. Wouldn't be the same without it.

I'm happy to report that my Mom keeps her decorating to a tasteful minimum.


Edit: Somethings gone all SNAFU here. I actually posted this at 9:44pm, not 4:44. And it was long after Bobstick's post so how I ended up two posts before his is beyond me. It must have something to do with Kex's voodoo that 'Sticks alludes to.

she owns every year, I'm sorry but I just dont' see the point!

I mean I don't even reside in the same state as her, but every year around this time I know she gets out her Santa collection, her nutcracker collection, her angel collection, her 100 nativity sets from around the world and from the looks of it, some of the strangest stores
one could lay eyes on; And it doesn't stop there, my friends! There's more! The teddy bear collection and the snowman or people collection,
it just goes on and on and on...

I'm all for decorating for Christmas. I love to put up the tree, and dress the mantel, but jeez. My kids aren't even around to see half of the stuff she's putting out. Then I have to hear her ***** on the phone about how Larry (her husband) won't get the bins down from the garage to either get out the stuff or put it all away.

Last year (we weren't living by her then either) she got out so much stuff that she hurt her back tying to take it all down and I actually flew out towards the end of January to go help her put it away!

Does anyone else think that is crazy? How can I stop the madness?
I guess the one good thing is that I can potentially fly to Sunny California if she hurts her back again! :smile5:

Yeah well, my mother never takes down the Christmas tree. She has a Christmas Tree, an Easter Tree, a 4th of July Tree, Halloween Tree and finally a Thanksgiving Tree.

Beat that DEMONS TIME WARPERS!!!!!!! :devil:

Be Gone Demons, Be Gone! You can't have what you are after!

If you're wondering where Bobsticks is. I think he's reading something...and practicing his French.

I admit to nothing...yet confess....everything.

I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Kexoduscigula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am… a God!’

Mwa ha ha ha ha

Let the hate me, so long as they fear me.
