Obnoxious Christmas Displays
The other day, I went out to do some errands. It was daylight when I left, but when I returned, it was nighttime. As I came in the house, I expected it to be pitch black because no lights were on and usually when no lights are on, it is such. I noticed my dining room was light up, so assumed maybe the hubby turned on the kitchen night light. When I walked into my dining room, it happened...
I WAS BLINDED...MY GOD, JESUS CHRIST WHO THIS HOLIDAY IS FOR, WHY MOTHER MARY OF GOD!!!
"Honey, you HAVE to come see this" I say with my mouth STILL gaping.
"See what? What did your dog do now?"
"Not our dog, our neighbors."
Ok...um, my neighbors, across the street from the neighbors BEHIND me...have the BRIGHTEST, TACKIEST display of lights I have EVER seen. And I'm sure my neighbor behind me is worse because I've seen his display before, but because I can SEE the neighbor's across the street from him display, I'm giving them the award. I can't see the neighbor's behind me display...well because he's behind me...can't you figure out why. He lives on a cul-de-sac, so I have a clear view of the neighbors behind them.
I mean...this display...if it moves, lights up, is a fake, lighted Xmas tree...it's on their lawn. And there appears to be spotlights lighting up the show too. However, it turns out it's not spotlights, it's actually the light reflecting from the neighbor's behind me display. His display is so equally tacky (and as I said I know this from seeing it), the brightness from his display reflects off his neighbor's across the street display.
To add insult to injury they have the balls to turn on their front door lights. Literally people, I look out my back door and it's as bright as daylight back there. That's obnoxious. The other neighors in the court have 'normal' displays with lighted up trees and lights on the house. Their houses make the lights on my shrubs, front fence, light pole and the nicely decorated holy tree in my front yard look like white trash.
There are reindeer, Santa's sleighs, Santa's, Electric trees all out on display back behind me. Enough electricity to...well I can't even imagine. I mean these are the same neighbors that told me that pool filters should be run 13 hours a day. No...we ran ours 1-2 hours a day...while we used it. Sometimes *gasp* we skipped days. Our pool fared fine and our electric bill was saved.
I'm sure these displays are one neighbor trying to outdo the other. I don't remember the neighbors across the street being so 'bright' last year. So I'm chalking this up to a war going on across the street. But I know...every time they plug in their lights for the night...Al Gore cries out in pain...
