Have yourself a Merry Griswold Christmas!!

Hello,

I was watching TV the other night, and one my all time favorite classic Christmas movies came on.  National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.  There are a lot of memorable scene's in this movie, but one of my favorites is the ordeal Chevy Chase goes through to decorate his house.  Does he go overboard? Yes.  Would you expect anything else from Clark W. Griswold? No.

Which brings me to my holiday housing point..  Don't pull a Clark Griswold this year.  You can take that several different ways by either remembering not to fall off your roof into the bushes, or by not setting up the ladder the wrong way and come sliding down on it.  Remember not to staple your sleeve to your house, and definitely don't staple your lights to your roof.  Here's the Clark W. Griswold things to avoid list:

1. If you've received an invitation to the power company's Christmas party, you're probably overdoing it.
2. If Walmart has an isle reserved specially for you, you're probably over decorating.
3. If you've visited the hospital a couple of times, you're doing it wrong.
4. When your walking in your attic, you're suppose to walk on the joists (wood beams), not the spaces in between.
5. And finally, if you find yourself hanging off of your gutters, not only are you doing it wrong, your probably going to be revisiting number 3 on this list.

Please remember, whether it's your first X-mas in your brand new home, or it's your 30th X-mas, please decorate responsibly, or your house could look like this.

 

Warmest Wishes,
