saturn Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Do you guys decorate for the holidays? Let's see em' My street doesn't go all out, but there are some houses in the neighborhood that get pretty elaborate. Last night, the wife and I drove in to the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore to see the what's become known as The Miracle On 34th Street. In typical B'more fashion, it's gaudy and cheesey. Actually it didn't seem as big this year as it usually is. (Maybe residents were worried about the city going crazy again) Then there's my house.

rct Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Last night, the wife and I drove in to the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore to see the what's become known as The Miracle On 34th Street. In typical B'more fashion, it's gaudy and cheesey. Actually it didn't seem as big this year as it usually is. (Maybe residents were worried about the city going crazy again) We spent Thanksgiving in Charm City, kind of a tradition for us, American Visionary Artist Museum has an event that weekend so we go down and stay at the Harbor and have dinner and stuff. Prolly our last time, at least for a while. It's...different. It's been up, way up, a humming harbor and just a great time. And down, quiet, stores closing and stuff. We also come down for the American Craft show and stay on the harbor, February. Same thing, probably our last one last year. It's definitely different, not in a good way. 34th looks cool and cheezy, painted screen doors and all! Your house looks great! rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Sorry but I find the whole thing an exercise in commercialism and a pain in the bum frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I want to wish everyone a great time during this festive season. But there are a few people I know who, at this time of year are reminded most of those who are no longer there to share it. I suppose I'm one of them now. We are not miserable nor suffering, but just would rather not be 'jollied along'. Peace to one and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 But there are a few people I know who, at this time of year are reminded most of those who are no longer there to share it.... I'm one of that group, merciful, and I can assure you I fully understand. My own take is to give generous thanks to the memory of those who have gone and to bestow the very best on those who remain. After all; that's our very own futures we are witnessing. Give love and good cheer whilst you still have the chance. This ain't no dress rehearsal. Pip.

Retired Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 those lights are pretty, imagine the time spent. We put up a tree but I'd rather decorate the inside with BigKahune's guitar collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Scales Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Religion?? and for all these years I thought Christmas was a celebration of the birth of Lemmy! (... and happy 70th on the day Lem! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Religion?? and for all these years I thought Christmas was a celebration of the birth of Lemmy! (... and happy 70th on the day Lem! ) Never knew that haha. I've been listening to Hawkwind a lot lately and Lemmy's bass is so good. His riffs just keep the whole thing together. Take out his bass and you have mostly random space noises and drums. Lemmy would be the best bassist to jam with ever What were we talking about?

Retired Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 What? You mean to tell me Rob that you don't believe in Santa Clause? Or the Boogy man? Ha ha, Well I guess I don't either, but If, the Boogy Man ever does come breaking in our home, I have a great big surprise for him! And I don't think he will like it either. You see, we don't have to lock ours up in safes, with ammo stored separately. They can be in every room of the house hidden where we are the only ones that know.

Sorry grumpy today~ That's OK Digger. I'm not religious either and really don't get all into the "spirit" of the holiday too much.

kelly campbell Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 That is funny, There is a couple houses here in my hometown similar except the one that is decorated has about twice as many lights as that one in this picture and the one next to it has an arrow and a sign that reads DITTO.

kelly campbell Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I too wish everyone a merry christmas but it is not my favorite time of year either. I too have not a lot of use for religion but what bothers me even more is the fact that it has gotten so commercial, I think it is pretty disgusting...plus it is also a sad time of year for me as well due to three losses of family so every year I keep telling my wife I am going to a beach somewhere for a week...one of these days.
