Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations this year…
Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take it down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by. Second, a 55 year-old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder and almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.
Kind of feel like I gave in by taking it down but my neighbor did confirm two near miss accidents on the busy street next to my house. I think I made it too real this time.
So it was fun while it lasted! Merry Christmas!
