Christmas Stories

First of all, I am pleased to announce that I am done with all of my Christmas shopping. And the tree is up. All of my gifts are wrapped. Well, there might be one or two last minute items and a gift lying around unwrapped, but I have more done than most people. All I plan on doing now is drinking some egg nog and hanging my stockings.

So if you think I might be a Christmas nut for having finished all my Christmas shopping already, check out South Carolina’s Melody Howell. She has 52 Christmas trees in her house. Christmas nut or bored housewife? From NBC4 here:

RICHBURG, S.C. — Melody Howell doesn’t just have a Christmas tree; she has a whole Christmas forest in her Richburg-area home.

This year, she has 52 decorated trees — one in every room of her house, including one in the laundry room and another in a bathtub.

And on the flip side, hanging Christmas lights can be a chore. One man expressed his thought about the season in lights. From NBC 4 here:

BYRON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Jason Lee said he has nothing against Christmas, even though his decorations make him look like a bit of a Scrooge.

Lee spelled out “Bah-hum-bug” in Christmas lights on his front lawn as part of his holiday display.
