It's house trimming time at Sue Salah's home in Royal Oak, Mich., and
the neighbors are dialing 911. Salah eventually took down her little
Christmas joke after police complained about all the "injury" calls they
were getting.

Sitting here admiring the tree and lights and gifts under the tree. Hoping santa may come again or maybe just to lazy to take it down and put away the decorations. Tree still has all needles and still smells good.
Just remember there are only 349 shopping days left til Christmas! Give or take a day or two.

Chevy Chase would be proud...
OK - I post very few of the 300 e-mails I get everyday but this one was interesting, I wonder if there is a version available for telemarketers...
When you get ads in your phone or utility bill, include them with the payment. Let them throw it away. When you get those pre approved letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and junk like that, most of them come with postage paid return envelopes, right?
Well, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little envelopes? Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Or a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their application back! If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them. You can send it back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing!
Eventually, the banks and credit card companies will begin getting all their junk back in the mail. Let's let them know what it's like to get junk mail, and best of all THEY'RE paying for it! Twice! Let's help keep our postal service busy since they say e-mail is cutting into their business, and that's why they need to increase postage again! You might send this to a friend or two or three...or fifty!

I never take mine down. The way I look at it is.... I have them up early for next xmas :D
yup.......xmas decor went up about nine days before and came down about nine days after (of course it wasnt too hard because I barely put anything out to begin with)
Xmas is always such a nice time of year but I just couldnt get much in the mood this year......:(
