Dear Neighbor...

Dear Neighbor,

It has come to my attention that it is January 15th, 2009, well over the "12 days of Christmas", yet it seems, you still have your Christmas decorations up and around your house. What gives? I have forgiven you for parking right in front of our mailbox every single day so that I have to basically squeeze myself between your ugly burgundy colored car and the box just to see if I have any bills, but the Christmas decorations in mid-January is unforgivable. And even when my next door neighbor pulled out of their driveway and hit your "in-the-way" parked car, you STILL didn't get the hint to move it! The red velvet ribbons that hang off of your porches with the green garland is a bit dated, as is the twinkle lights on your teeny, tiny little tree in your front lawn. I have also noticed (only b/c your blinds were open, not b/c I was peering through my closed blinds, with a sneering eye towards your decorative motif of crap, I mean, decorations), that you still have your tree up. I know that the twinkling lights on a Christmas tree can be mesmerizing, but it is only special during the months of November and December. I think its safe to take it down now. With this said, I appreciate all that you're doing for the community by "beautifying" with decorations, but perhaps you can take it down sometime before Christmas this year? And if not, I would like for you to know that you will be solely responsible for my drinking heavily to tolerate the tackiness that is your house. Thanks.


Best Regards,
your annoyed neighbor

P.S. I would take them down for you, but I think that might violate some sort of pesky "trespassing" law.

pps. Pictures to be posted later as proof!

*UPDATE* - It was too dark to take a photo when I got home, but I will try again tomorrow! Decorations are STILL up and the lights are twinkling!
