Groomlakearea51 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 It's that time of the year..... Forced labor in the Gulag Storage Area.... Bring down the boxes of ornaments, wreaths, knick-knacks, towels, candles, and all of that stuff that SWMBO needs to bring in the Holiday cheer!!! I opted for something unusual, but was voted down as per usual... Banned to the man cave with a pre-lit tree that was otherwise not going to be used. When all were asleep and not a creature was stirring..... raided the decorations for my "manly man" tree. Was great for about a day until SWMBO walked in, took one look and handed me the portable WAF-O-Meter which was pegged at -2... Well, it was fun while it lasted......

Groomlakearea51 Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 I wanted this, but...... could not seem to convince SWMBO that it was the right thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get enough " reaction " from the normal stuff I do, I don't need any more reactions. I did try to sell that tree from the ceiling thing last year, just got the " look ", your married you know the look i'm talking about !

oldtimer Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I know what you mean. Idea after idea, yet after all these years not one thing (not even one!) is yet to hang from our ceiling, except in the garage. Well, OK, there is that little model of the moon. Still, why do we even have cross-beams up there if not to hang things from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 I ran this one by her also..... Her response was something about a tree upside my head with frying pans for decorations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomlakearea51 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 If in doubt, you can always consult a Christmas tree design team.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
