My dad never went nuts in decorating the outside of the house. Just one string of lights across the front, and a big, lit-up Santa on the front porch.
One year, for reasons known only to him, he decided to put Santa on the roof. My brother & I were watching TV when we saw, to our horror, Dad fall past the living room window!
He came in, holding his wrist (I will NOT describe; it wasn’t pretty). My mother started to get ready to drive him to the hospital. There was red all over the collar of his coat, and my mother was a bit freaked out. I looked at my dad, and suddenly started laughing! My little brother noticed what I did, and started laughing as well. My dad caught on…and joined us in the laughter.
My mother was about to kill us.
She asked why we were laughing. I asked her, “Mom, what did you do right before Dad went outside?”
She said, “I touched up the Santa.”
I asked, “What did you use?”
She answered, “Lipstick”. At that moment, she got it, too. My dad had lipstick on his collar! For some reason, the 3 of us found that hilarious.

I’m using 2 of those Star Showers, much simpler, takes about 5 -10 minutes.

Cats go for anything that looks like a string.

I’ve had my outside decorations up for a few weeks now. Who goes to all that trouble for just a few days?
