Q: The Snowman and Christmas Tree decorations in the front yard got into an argument, who will win?

Q: How long does your house keep its Christmas decorations up?
I drove past a house last night with its lights on, with a Santa blow up in the front yard. A what month does it get ridiculous.
A: Just right after New Year's
Q: Why do people buy Christmas stuff more at retail stores than as used goods?
Why do people flock to retail stores where they have to pay premium prices to buy Christmas decorations, and yet at yard sales and thrift stores, people don't even look at Christmas stuff? I ran ads on Craig's List starting for Christmas things I found in Mom's attic at very inexpensive prices. Then lowered the prices several times. Finally I posted them for free and still no nibbles. Can't give away Christmas decorations!
A: The market in used Christmas items, as well as other used things, is a tricky business right now. With the uncertain economy, people want really good deals on things. On the other hand, if you're selling inexpensively or giving it away, people may thing it is defective in some way. They would rather pay more and be certain of the quality. Go figure the fickleness of human nature!

Q: Is it time to start taking down the Christmas decorations, yet?
I was trying to keep up with the Joneses and so far, only one of my neighbors have began taking their holiday lights, trees, and yard decor down. Should I wait until the others do or just leave them out all year, like the house on the corner?
A: It depends if you care or don't care what judgments the neighborhood makes of you. As you mention the corner house. Personally I would take them away until next time.

Q: Name of a children's book about a single stand of white Christmas lights?
I remember reading it as a child. In it, in an effort to outdo his neighbors, the father, who usually puts up 1 strand of white lights, keeps putting up Christmas decorations, until he eventually causes a blackout. Angry neighbors ransack his yard, destroying all of his decorations. While they feel guilty and offer to rebuild everything, he decides to only put up one string of lights. Anyone know the title and author of this book?
A: Post this question at www.whatsthatbook.com and/or www.auntbook.com. Hopefully, someone there will remember your book.
Q: I want to buy a lighted Christmas Train for the YARD. I found a 6 ft. one. Have U seen anymore?
Tell me some websites selling lighted yard decorations. Particularly TRAINS.

Q: What's the best way to celebrate Christmas away from home?
Because of the unexpected death of my precious precious father, my mother wants her two adult daughters, their husbands, and the six granchildren to meet far from everyone's home in a cabin to celebrate Christmas in a new way. Oddly, the property is called, "Our Heaven."
In trying to think about how to get going for the holidays, I wonder what people typically do when they leave home for the holidays. I'm an organizationally challenged person and just packing for a normal trip is apparently an ordeal for my family to observe.
I'm wondering about decorating at home - how much - the usual, just a token - yard decorations like those animatronic deer? Should I bake and bring things there? Should I bring decorations? What will help make it Christmas there?
What am I not even thinking about?
We're going away for a week starting the 23rd. We're driving. The cabin is an hour from anywhere, on acreage.
A: Are you wanting to know how much of your house to decorate? If that's the question the answer is just as much as you would normally. Even if you're not there on Christmas you are still there up until the 23rd so you will enjoy the decorations and little things that make it such a wonderful holiday.
What our family does is we celebrate with our extended family at Christmas, on the 25th then my family (husband, child & I) celebrate our own Christmas either before or after the holiday. That way it extends the season just a little bit. And we get to observe our own tradtions with out interfering with our extended families traditions.
I think what your mother is doing is trying to get through the holidays without dredging up possibly painful memories of past christmases with your dad. By moving the celebration she doesn't have to remember that this is how dad used to.... Just let her know that you will be there for her. And I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
Q: Fake Outdoor Snow For Christmas Decorations?
This year I want to decorate my yard rather simple. I want to put fake snow on the shrubs under the window and the ground and plain white lights in the inside of the trees. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for fake outdoor snow? Something that will last with this winter weather. Thanks
A: tia r, I tend to go overboard when decorating evrey year. I like to visit lots of stores to see what the new christmas decorating trends are. http://www.christmasdecorationsstores.com
