My wife's decorating puzzles me.

[deadpedal]

My wife of five years is changing everything around the house. Soap, towels, potholders... these are all necessary to conduct day to day living. Yet when the winter holiday season shows up she decides she's going to buy a bunch of red and green stuff to replace the stuff we already have. Some of it I can't even use. Soap that is for decoration only? Guest Towels that have so much embroidery work on them that they have lost any sort of moisture absorbing ability. Oh yeah, and you can't use these towels, "they're for guests." Nobody visits us. She even replaced an entire roll of paper towels with another roll just because these new paper towels have christmas trees and wreaths and candy canes. The friggin bath mats have even changed from white to Santa-shaped!
How do I stop it?!!

AAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!

My mother does the same thing every year. My poor step-father - I feel so bad for him - he wanders around the house in a daze of confusion for a month and a half.

That's just crazy! I am not into all of that crap b/c I think it is just that crap ;)

My mom goes way over board she even has X-mas tunes going on in the background. And get this she is all into the x-mas tree thing like as in she has 7 in the house. yep thats right I said 7. she has a 2 footer in the frount hallway with all blue decorations she has the 7 footer in the living room thats all white and gold decorations. then in the opposite corner of the same room she has a 3 foot one that she does for her grandson that can't be here for the holidays. then the kitchen has a 2 foot tree. and the 2 bathrooms have 1 foot trees then the guest bedroom has a 2 foot tree.

My mom is nutssssssssssss over X-mas but thats cool cause we just got a tone of lights for outside of the house and for the inside and some decorative things for here and there.

This other Sergeant that works in my office has a similar dilemma. His step-father loves annoying people that over-stay their visit during the holidays. He has collected, over the span of a few years, every single noise-making christmas tree, santa claus, gingerbread man and reindeer that mankind has produced and placed all of them in the foyer of the house. When they all go off, you can't even speak over the din they create. My pal tells me that he'll turn them on when he feels that they've stayed too long. This has varied, I understand, from several days, to mere minutes.

I couldn't get my uncle to leave last night. He was even being a d!ck about little things. He would always have something stupid to say about everthing people would talk about. O and he just interupts GOD that drives me crazy. My mom gave him pics from the last few X-mas's of him and he said that one of them wasn't him???? WTF who else looks like him that would have his clothes and stuff. He told my mom that it was ok and we can think what we want that he had matches at home and could take care of it. I about punched him in the face then told him he needed to leave. he is just a dumb @$$ sometimes.

back to the decorating thing.
My ol'ladie replaces all functional items in the house with the x-mas crap too (much like the towels).
I cook one of those oven bake chicken dinners. 25mins @ 375 degrees. At the 28 minute mark, I grab the 'santa and reindeer' pot holder and grab ahold-a that dish. Get 2ft across the kitchen and suddenly realize the flesh is cooking off my fingertips. I tuffed it out long enough to make it the other 3 feet, but from the rush I was in, i neglected to clear both dementions. Had the distance but not the height.
Dropped the dish, it shattetred, scattered 375 degree chicken and stuffing like stuff all over the floor onto my feet and legs.
By the time she makes it to the kitchen i was sitting on the counter with my feet and hands in the sink.
Pusy blisters on palm, fingertips, top of feet (thank god for the harry legs), and one annoying little bastard right on my pinky toe.
"Honey, you're not supposed to use THAT, it's for decoration"
*$#@(&%^!@$(*&%@^!$(&!@^$(#*&!@#$^%~@(*#$&%$(
Yes, she cleaned up the mess and went and bought me dinner.
Oh, and the room mate found that inevitible, last piece of glass (the wrong way) on New Years day.
WILL THE INSANITY EVER STOP??????????
