Really annoys me.
and is devastatingly bad luck. Somewhere, I acquired the superstition that you're supposed to have your tree out of the house before New Year's. And that all of its minions are supposed to go with it.
I like lights. I hate blinky, strobe-ing, migraine inducing stuff. And roof setups that require their own power grid. Over top of a garage with a hybrid in it. Really, people.

Ha! I have this, too. I think I got it from my Dad.
Happy birthday, Daisy Jane!
JZ, I'm not technically around, being in Indiana for a funeral but that picture of Matilda killed me. I think Olivia wore that once. I'm thrilled she can wear it--and she looks adorable in it!
Decision-ma for you about the job stuff.

sox is me. Blinky lights make me wanna puke, give me a headache, and go postal. Ack. Also, any decorations that make noise. That includes the buzz of an overloaded circuit or the constant drone of a generator to power too much junk. Plus I just don't get the inflatible stuff. But then again, I am a bit of a grinch when it comes to Xmas. JUST CELEBRATE THE SOLSTICE PEOPLE!! Stop calling half that crap "Christian"
Oops. Sorry about the rant.
I bought pretty Winterthing lights today. Low-power, clear, totally non-blinky, inoffensive Winterthing lights. I'm excited to find a way to hang them.
Happy Birthday, Daisy Jane! Wishing you a wonderful year ahead.
My decorating pet peeve is people who leave the decorations up for months after the holidays. Really annoys me.
"...And I just know you're going to get those Halloween decorations out of the yaaard. I'm at Radio Shack, yeah. And they have all these new phones--and I NEED a new phone, isn't that the darnedest coincidence? Nokia, Motorola..."
I miss that commercial. Not Christmas season without that commercial.
I'm with omnis.
But I do like the tasteful, teeny white lights on other people's houses.
