Watch those Christmas tree lights
I don’t mean to be a Grinch, however.... to those of you who are placing Christmas lights/decorations in your yards, would you please avoid anything that has Red or Blue flashing lights together!! Every time I come around the corner, I think it's the police. I have to brake hard, toss my margarita out the window, fasten my seat belt, throw my phone on the floor, turn my radio down, and push the gun under the seat. All while trying to drive. It's just too much drama, even for Christmas. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Yep, stolen

Mike

And if you are going to decorate with inflatable Christmas characters, keep them properly inflated.
Nothing is more depressing than saggy Santas and droopy reindeer.

Nothing? There is another object that, when it becomes droopy, is very depressing!

And we don't need any cakes,cookies or holiday candies.
Some of us are on restricted diets or are diabetics.

So quit it.

You joke but there used to be a house on my drive that had just that and it would drive me crazy every time thinking it was a cop.

My friend has a lot of inflatable Christmas decoration things in the front yard. I need to count but probably 7 or 8 of the large ones.

After sunup, it looks there was a massive drive by shooting in his front yard.

Why are you so worried?

You got warrants? Razz

I thank you all for your concerns, but my decorations are properly rigid when circumstances call for it. I wish the same for all of you.
Happy Holidays!

Well, I'm still in the process of putting up my Christmas lights, but I don't think you'd likely think of a police car.
