Thanksgiving is now officially over which means the Christmas season can now start. YAY!Fa La La La La................................
Tradition #1... oh yea, I'm full of em. It's "The Wonderfully Wacky-Tacky Light Display Challenge."Oh yes, the white twinkling pretty displays are nice... We enjoy driving around and seeing those too... But the real fun is finding the wackiest-tackiest display around. And I mean that in a NICE way!
There are rules...Based on previous displays we've found, to win the wackiest-tackiest award, the yard must contain all of the following basic items.
1. Santa (naturally)
2. Reindeer (natch)
3. A Sleigh (where would Santa be without one?)
4. A Snowman (it's GA, so fakes ones are allowed)
5. Angels.
6. A bow. On anything except a present.
7. Presents. (Lit or unlit)
8. A Star. (I mean you gotta have a star)
9. A Manger Scene. (It is the reason for the Season you know)
10. Candy Canes. I figure they're thinking the wise men might get hungry?
11. Bells. Silver Bells.... Colored Bells.... Jingle Bells.... whatever...
12. Colored lights. (non of that politically correct all white chit. Not this time!)
13. Something has to blink.... The more blinking the better.
Then you go for extra points..
1. Any tire in the yard that is lit up. (Yep - seen em.)
2. Creative use of any junk car - Howeverif used as a sleigh, it scores the normal 1 point.
3. Fake snow. (If there is real snow on the ground we don't leave the house)
4. Pink Flamingos. (Seen as Reindeer substitutes in past years.)
5. Something has to move.
6. Music. Very rare to hear...
7. Big Plastic candles.
8. Anything new ....
Welcome to Christmas in the South, ya'll.
