aaaaaght a rif on the most evil poem in the universe!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaarght!
’Twas the month before Christmas: through the whole universe,
Stupid buggers were reciting this horrible verse.
It’s rhymes were pathetic; its scansion was worse.*
And I couldn’t help thinking it should go in reverse
As Dan Chaucer would say, up the re-citers erse!
I put all my christmas decorations up in 2008, near yule-time I only clean it and change the bulbs/leds to more “christmas-y” colours than I use the rest of the year, I havn’t had to untangle the decorations since
(The key to pulling this off is to have sane and discreet decorations – don’t be gaudy)
I don’t think there’s enough panels left before XMAS to do justice to the send up of the poem. But we shall see… Looking forward to this week’s BUGMARTINI.
Oh man, a multi-parter! This is gonna be great!
Oh, this is gonna be good. *sits back, sips drink*

Ha! I like that tangled decoration, hanging my lights like that would spare me lots of time and annoyance. I will do that from now on!
Does save time. I saw a set once that looked like it had been thrown at the front yard tree. “The damn lights are up, Muriel– ya happy now?”
