Griswald flashback

Usually Christmas decorating at the Herbster house happens the day after Thanksgiving, but since I am working tomorrow hubby got in his head that we should put up some ourside embellishments today. I wasn't on board with the idea but went along with it. I put my list of things that I wanted to do on my only day off aside and we decided to put up some outdoor decorations. The first box I grabbed brought on flashbacks of "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation." As I am carrying a tree down the steps the bottom fell out. All the parts from the lighted spiral tree scattered down the stairs, the Candy Canes that were in my other arm flew everywhere. Let the laughing begin. We continue on and get those decorations up. Next up was the snowflake lights to hang around the porch. We untangle them and I hold them as he goes around. The plastic hooks from last year all broke as he went so off he goes into the garage to get new. I wait patiently thinking this just doesn't seem right with all the fallen leaves still scattered here and there. Ok, he's back. Now back to the lights! We go around get them all up and he says..."I started with the wrong end." Yes, in deed he did. Now he is really starting to look a little like Clark. Off they come and we chalked it up to a practice run and did it again. Put up some greens, a snowman, a sled and It is done for now.
Now, back to my plans for the day. No! I come back in and there he is with more decorations. Wanting to put up some in the breeze way to greet our friends and family. Okay, he is on a mission so I let him go. I sneak inside and he tells me we might as well continue with the inside. Music to my ears? NO. I think for a moment before speaking and realize I might as well give in. So off I go to decorate.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.
