I Wish I Had Thought of That
On November 2nd, we saw our first Christmas commercials on TV. I couldn’t believe it — well, I guess I could, but you know what I mean. I hadn’t even thought about turkey and dressing and here were Christmas commercials. I love Christmas, but I would at least like to keep the commercial side of it confined to December, or to at least the post-Thanksgiving mayhem.
One of our annual Christmas traditions is to either watch Christmas Vacation, or at least talk about our favorite parts of it. One of my favorite things is Sparky’s (aka Clark Griswold) desire to have the best lights and decorations on his house and in his lawn. Part of my love for this parody and the humor involved in the whole lighting extravaganza at the Griswold home is based on having lived next door to someone who actually went that overboard with decorations. So to my great delight, a fellow staff member forwarded me the following picture. I only wish I had thought of this!
