Why...

...do people feel the need to cover their entire yard with darn light up inflatables?  I have never been a fan of these since the first one I saw.  I don't know what the attraction is to them.  My neighbors down the street have a giant santa sitting in boat fishing...tell me how does that say "Merry Christmas"? 

...do people feel the need to "dress up" their cars like Christmas creatures?  I have seen the reindeer cars many, many times in the past, I have seen the wreath stuck to the front of the car like road kill (side note on that...do you save the wreath year after year or get a new one?  I mean the thought of the shear number of bugs stuck inside that thing just grosses me out!!!!!), but this morning I saw a new one...a car was "dressed" as an elf.  It took me a moment to decifer what was going on because all I saw were the ears...Folks, trust me on this one...it was horrible!!!!

...do the makers of movies make Christmas movies that make you cry?!?!?!? Christmas is a happy time of year...lets make movies that reflect that!!!  I watched the movie "The Christmas Shoes" last night.  Let me say, I cried for a good 45 minutes of that movie!!!  Now if you know me, you know that I am not one to cry.  I was a blubbery, snotty nosed, puffy eyed mess after that movie was over.  I was just glad that it was Monday and I had recorded "Accidently on Purpose" and "Big Bang Theory" because I needed a good laugh!!!
