I fully understand that Christmas is almost two months away. And while the malls have had their trees up since Columbus Day, most normal people haven’t started putting up their Christmas decorations yet.
But I am thinking about it.
Putting up Christmas decorations–especially lights–is one of my least favorite tasks. You know the whole story–one light goes out . . . they all go out!
So as I was contemplating taking down the Halloween decorations, since that holiday has actually passed, I came up with a brilliant idea. (Keep in mind that when one gets an idea, a light bulb comes on over their head. But when one idea goes out . . . they all go out!)
Why not re-use my Halloween decorations for Christmas?
It’s brilliant. They are already up. Not only do I save time not taking them down, but I don’t have to spend a lot of time putting up new decorations.
Here is my Halloween tabloid . . . be prepared to be afraid.
OK. The whole thing was created back when my kids were young enough to care about Halloween and enjoyed listening to daddy curse helping daddy in the woodshop.
So here is my plan for Christmas . . . be prepared to deck the halls!
It’s perfect! Now I know what you are thinking . . . but weren’t there three ghosts in the Christmas Carol? The Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Presents, and the Ghost of Christmas Bills Yet to be Paid. So I only have two ghosts, but now the pumpkin has a Santa Clause bag.
My family is less than enthusiastic about my creation.
Maybe if I put a bright ribbon on the pumpkin.
Yeah, that’ll do it!
HO HO HO!

Thanks for posting this.. It’s been a pleasure to read 🙂
Hey, I have visited your webpage multiple instances. I found out about it from my spouse. I made up my mind to post a comment. My husband and I really like humor; hence We talked about sharing a fabulous laugh with you not to mention your viewers. While making love, he says: Darling, let’s do 68! 68??? What’s that? You do it to me and I’ll owe you one.
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get
three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Bless you!
I´m part of a group of volunteers that is starting a new scheme in our neighbourhood in Fort Worth. One of the community projects that we are about to initiate relatates to your blog, and therefor some of the information here is of value for us and I just wanted so say thank you for that.
