Husband taught me the rule of Christmas decorations – all decorations have to be put out. But that was long before I started “collecting” decorations – so the rule no longer always applies – especially if we get a late start.
We put the lights on the bushes/trees in front of our house just over a week ago. There is a holly tree on the right and a small evergreen tree on the left of the bushes between them. He put white flashing lights on the two trees and color not flashing lights on the bushes between.
Problem was the evergreen needed more lights. Since he was sure he could not match the white flashing lights he decided to buy red not flashing lights to fill in the bottom area. (Why red? Have no idea.) He drapped the red lights across the front of the bottom of the tree and then back again. It looked to me like a mouth – to be specific it looked like mouth singing at the start of “the Rocky Horror Picture Show”. I said nothing – I know when not to do so. When he finally stepped back and looked at it he said “It looks like the mouth at the start of…”. I told him that I thought so also. We (he) decided to leave it. It drooped since and he actually put it back to where it was to keep that look?!

Sherman the Christmas Squirrel,
Has a very fluffy tail,
It shines like Christmas silver tinsel,
The kind you order through the mail,
He’s not like the other tree rats,
Peering through your window pane,
He’s not content to steal your shelled nuts,
Sherman is a bit insane!
Because one foggy Christmas Eve,
He got clipped upside a car,
He stumbled ‘round the yard awhile,
Now he’s seeing Christmas stars!
If you let him in your window,
He’ll sprint o’er to your Christmas tree
Then Sherman the Christmas Squirrel,
Will incite cal – am – i – teeeeee!

If it’s the one which came with the tree last year, I’m afraid it’s dead.

Hmm, it would also appear that Clayton knows more about the disappearance of the squirrel than he would like to admit!
