Happy Slacker Holidays

Okay, Growers, as your newly appointed scribe, I believe it is my duty (right? privilege?) to tell you that once again you people are making me look bad.

My kids already think I'm a total slacker when it comes to decorating anything. And now this:

• Christmas trees decorated on Thanksgiving weekend;
• Sparkly lights all over your homes;
• Wreaths taken out of their bags and hung outside.

I'll stop there. And I shall not name names...you know who you are.

The only thing saving me face is that I bought some jingle bells yesterday in a Target Moment (we just went in for cat litter!). I hung them on the empty hook that always hangs outside our front door. Oh, that and that the Viking has not yet made an appearance across the street (where is he, Kurt? I kinda miss him).

So the next time you think, "Oh, wouldn't this be a neat looking little do-hickey project thingy-majigy," please, think of your poor, beleaguered deco-challenged secretary.
