a wee bit of holiday cheer

I'm not a total Scrooge.

I found a little package of ornaments from 1985 (I know the year because it said so on the tags at the junk store). They look like something your grandma would put on her tree. Your grandma, not mine because my grandma uses giant fake birds of prey on her ugly-ass flocked tree. At least she did when I was  kid. I'm telling you the tree was covered in giant white doves and I swear they had red eyes too. They would glare at you. I haven't been to her house during this time of year in quite some time so I'm not sure what the decor is now days at Grandma Lawn Ornaments house. I also found this great vintage bowl - I forget what the style is called.

{The tree lights up and was only ten bucks, but it sadly needs a skirt. I'll get right on that}

For the second year in a row (or does this make three years) I am not putting up my awesome fake, white tree. There is no room in our one bedroom. I need the room for my frequent tantrums - I tend to knock a lot of things down when they occur. Just like last year, in which we celebrated Black Christmas (see post here) I decided to decorate the mantel and leave it at that. This year the theme is Creepy Santa. If you check out last years post you can see last years holiday card too and I tell a short funny story about my brother who was living in Wisconsin at the time. Him and his family are back this year in Utah so you can imagine my parents are going nuts because His Majesty will be around to dribble over.

Anyhootandholla - here are some more pics. I found the two creepy Santas this year at the junk store. I was thinking of a good way to go would be me walking down the aisles of Savers and having a heart attack but no one finds me for a few days because I'm buried under a pile of vintage goods that I was carrying. That's one way I fantasize about dying. {sick & twisted}

More to come regarding Creepy Santa. You just wait.
