Crappy Christmas

If you know me, you know that my Christmases (is that a word?) aren't happy and bright. My Christmases in a word are crappy. My Mom died on Christmas, my grandmother died the day after... I could go on but I think you are getting the gist that I'm not talking about sucky gifts.

People decorate various things in lieu of pine trees. I've seen everything from a gigantic snowman, to a wool covered rake (no I am not kidding) used instead of a tree. So I think I should start using the toilet for my tree. We leave presents in it all year round, sometimes an angel is on top (of course that is me) and sometimes a fat guy has to come and set stuff around it to make it right. So here you go, my christmas tree - or at least what really is the symbol of what my Christmases are!

Assignment 1. Oh Tanenbaum. This may be a bit tricky. Nobody in their right mind is going to have a tree up this week. But can you show us a Christmas tree without actually having one? Tag with cwd441.

YIPPIE! It hit #16 on Explore (so far)!! It's a magic toilet! Thanks to all!

thank you :)

it's ok! I'm a survivor but it doesn't mean I really like Christmas a whole lot! Thanks - I try to find humor in everything.

I like that you try to find the humor in something that is negative for you. This is incredibly creative - from the thumbnail I was wondering what it was and then when I saw it it made me laugh.

First I didn't see what this is :-) I'm sorry you lost the persons on Christmas, but I see, you can treat this theme with some humor :-) Great!

I have a serious streak of dark humor - a gift from my late father. It's got me through! It makes me laugh every time I open the page. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you for your comment! Sometimes you just have to laugh. Now if I could get away sending this as a card to some "not nice" people on my list it would be even better.

LOL! I didn't even realize what this was til I clicked on it! Sorry to hear about your Christmas misfortunes. However, it looks like you haven't lost your sense of humor. That is definitely a good thing! :)

That's what a lot of people say, lol! Thank you!

Thank you very much!!

Thanks!!! I LOVE multi lights. I don't think I could ever have clear lights only. I do have a set that flashes from clear to multi though but thats as far as I go on the clear lights!

I just hope you have a spare for 'emergencies'!
Take Care, and you have shown that Christmas is as imperfect as any other day.
