We were at a garden centre last weekend and saw a nice ornament of a ferris wheel which actually moved. Made from balsa wood, looked really nice, so I opted to buy it for our home. But my husband asked; where would we place it? And well…we just left it there, as we just don’t have enough space as it is for all the Christmas ornaments we already have.
I think those who wish to decorate with garland should be responsible for the following:
Deciding the color, shape, circumference, and length of the garland chains to purchase because another person just is not able to purchase the garland you had in mind.
Dressing the house with it including the stairway’s hand railing’s posts.
Taking down all the garland once the season is over.
Gather all the garland up and storing it for a year.
Wait a full year without every thinking about garland again until next Christmas…then that person will continue to be responsible for:
Retrieving the garland from such storage area next year.
Spend much longer than anticipated trying to untangle the garland.
Repeat the above mentioned decoration process.
Find the finances to buy new garland because the old garland is “too flat” from a year’s storage.
Repeat both the decision making process of what type of garland to purchase.
Remove the “flat garland” and the repeat the decoration process.
And finally, recognize you can’t quite part with the old garland and put it back in storage for another year along with the garland you just bought.
This is like my wife. I work from home. When I shut down yesterday and left my home office I found my wife had wrapped all the bannisters in the house and the dinning room hanging light in the stuff.

It’s much easier to just make a popcorn garland, and eat it once the holiday is over.

I agree Rose! One person’s reasonable it another’s overboard. As the joke goes, if it doesn’t move, decorate it!

Green and Gold garland? They must be Green Bay Packers fans. ;-)

The trouble with Christmas in winter is that cabin fever can have a major effect on overdoing the decorations.
