Christmas Decorations

Ok, over this thanksgiving break I had to help put up Christmas decorations.  Now let me start off by saying I love Christmas but not the decorating.  We started putting up outdoor decorations two weeks before thanksgiving.  So we went out in the semi nice weather hauled out our old bent up rubber made boxes covered in duct tape and full of tangled up, broken and burnt out Christmas lights.  After spending four hours outside with splinters cuts, scrapes, and bruises you find out all of your decorating has given you the honor of being one of the least decorated houses on the block.  You then give up, go inside and swear to never decorate again.  Then when you go out to plug in the fifteen outlets worth of Christmas lights.  You blow a fuse messing up your recording of Christmas vacation and then find out half of the lights on one strand are burnt out.  Then you go inside to decorate in their you pull out your extremely heavy and breakable items from the attic and haul them down stairs.  First you start out with the Christmas tree aw the messy extremely heavy tree that all of your selfish presents will be under.  You then go through your old broken ornaments fixing some with fish hooks.  You get it all set up and realize your have accidentally inserted the chord into the tree.  So you have to take it apart.  Then you go and get your tacky gifts your grandmother gave you and set them out in random places.  After which you grab your garland, the nastiest material on Earth and begin to place it in high dangerous places with little flimsy wire that never stays on.  After this you apologize for everything you have said and regretted through this whole experience and get ready to start to enjoy Christmas.
