It puzzles me how people who moan and complain nonstop about gas prices, the cost of groceries and everything else, will think nothing of lighting 85,000 Christmas bulbs every night from Thanksgiving to New Years (or longer). I used to say I never had to turn on the lights in my living room during that time period because the reflections from the house across the street were bright enough to light up the room. I was only half-joking.
I am not Scrooge. I love Christmas. My bedroom and trunk are filled with gifts waiting to be delivered (Yes, Virginia, Santa does live in Michigan). However, I do think some people decided to use National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation as a decorating how-to.
On the other hand, I am appalled by what I saw while out shopping yesterday. A home around the corner from us usually has three large outdoor inflatable structures and several lighted snowmen, deer and penguins decorating the yard. Yesterday. the inflatables were shredded, the snowmen and other sculptures beheaded.
I hope the police catch the vandals who did it and give them more than a a few lumps of coal for Christmas.
Bah Humbug to Christmas Fun-Spoilers!
