It has been two months since Christmas past and still the husband insists upon keeping the Christmas wreath on our front door. All my efforts to convince him to remove have been to no avail. One day with Amal’s assistance, I even took it off the door and hid it. It didn’t take the husband more than 10 minutes to find it and put it back up there. For some reason he can’t let go. We can’t keep a Christmas item on display forever, can we? Isn’t this supposed to bring bad luck or something?
I’ve about reached the end of my rope here, so I’m appealing to the Internet community at-large to convince my dear hubby to remove this decoration from our door. If you think I’m in the right here please make yourself heard. If you side with the husband then go away … kidding 😉 You can try to convince me if you must.
Speaking of the “wreath”, I am reminded of the “Wreath Road” that I drive by on my way to work. This is a one mile long arterial road that is surrounded with high and thick trees. I developed a habit when driving by at around 4:30 am at a speed of 40-50 pm, to turn off the headlights of my car at a section where there is no street lights, and no cars driving but me. Its a crazy habit, but awesome experience. Darkness is like nothing to describe, but I can’t go on for more than a second. Yee haa. I have to add, that this road crosses another road called “Military Road” which is where the Green River serial killer ( who murdered 48 ladies between 1983 and 2001 and was captured only last year )used to live. His story was on the news last year including aljazeera. This is a true story, and I hope it is intimidating enough when you think of the word “Wreath”.
As a concerned neighbour I think it’s most def time for it to go… when I moved next door to the Tynes’ in January I thought, oh wow, what a nice festive touch… but I repeat that was in JANUARY, its practicaly March now, if you want your door to stand out from the others on the floor why didn’t you put up pink hearts for Valentines or a picture of a fluffy chick for Easter… Sorry to be Scrouge-like but Christmas is well and truly over.
Well there’s a good target sign for the would-be Islamic extremists while they’re storming your “compound”! I mean with how long is it from Riyadh to Doha?
That ought to do it Natasha 😉
Keep asking him what he’s going to bring you for x-mas.
It’s almost March – you can’t have Christmas stuff up anymore! If he’s really into it, maybe you can convince him to hang it from the rear view mirror of his car. Or if he’s got his own office or something, he can hang it there. But not on the front door. Tacky. If that doesn’t work, I think you should leave the wreath up and then paint a picture of the Baby Jesus in the manger, maybe some blinking Christmas lights, Santa Clause, and everything else Christmas. Make it all or nothing! =)
hey u know what you should do natasha to make jeff see how u feel, put up a bunch of halloween, eater and any other holiday decorations.
Hey
If he refuses , change the appartment number (12) into (14) or something…hehehe
I agree–Christmas is special because of its seasonal, once-a-year frequency.
Tell him to take the wreath to his office–his officemates will soon be sick of it.
Or else–a last resort–just throw the damn thing out!
I’m siding with Jeff, I love it! It looks very cool for one thing, and I love the cosy feeling 🙂
this reminds me of what my teta tells us each year during christmas. we have a 15 foot tree, and taking it down is an event in itself.
she tells us to keep it up all year long because we would enjoy looking at it. then she says if we get sick of it, just cover it with plastic. does anyone know where i can get a 15 foot plastic bag?
i digress.
i tell teta, we cant keep it up all year long, because it then takes away the special feelings we have around christmas when we put up the tree. so, keeping up the wreath all year long will not make it special when chrsitmas time comes around. when its christmas, and you still have that darn wreath up, it wont feel like christmas. do u guys get my point?
