Preparing for Christmas

Even I would say no.

I generally don’t like objects in the yard. Lights, yes. The more the better. But not inflatables or other big things like that.

One year, MrsT came home with a gold-spray-painted animatronic wire-sculpted reindeer family. Mom and Baby were fixed, but Papa’s head would occasionally move from side to side, like he was grazing.

It was an eyesore.

I apparently wasn’t the only one who thought so, because after walking past it a few dozen times with nary an acknowledgement, one morning, Kate the dog went out on her first run round the yard of the day, was sauntering back in, passed the display, Daddy Deer happily fake-munching the brown grass, stopped, turned, then jumped on him, wrapping her lanky Setter arms in a headlock, and didn’t stop until he was in a few pieces, and Mom and Baby upended as well.

Then she trotted back in, had a drink, climbed into her chair, and went to sleep.

Eyesore is the look I am going for.

We have a young guy from China working in the office with us, he has never put up a Christmas tree. This Friday he is finishing for the festive season, he, his wife and small chid are going back home. This morning our system was down for a good few hours so to kill time and to get our colleague involved, the tree is now up along with a few other bits hanging on the wall. A bit early but there we go...
 
Hey Tasty! Opportunity is knocking. You're going to watch them all, anyway, so why not get paid?
