CHRISTMAS DECS

CHRISTMAS DECS

 

 

I really feel pissed

I’m a minimalist

And I’m feelin’ the stress

for the house looks a mess.

 

At my wife’s behest

the Christmas decs

are now in place

and I have to face

that there they’ll stay

tlll new years day

when down they’ll come – hip hip hooray!

 

But I still feel pissed

I’m a minimalist

And I’m feelin’ the stress

for the house looks a mess.

    That is so unfortunate Michael, although I am not a minimalist the idea of putting up decorations this year is no going to happen, too many other things to worry about.

    Many years ago I was in an office with one other colleague and somebody, neither of us, put up Christmas decorations in our office - they did not come down until July!!

    Love the artwork.

      Should have left them ready for the Christmas. Cheers Andy.

      I should have called round with the water, to add to your tipple, if you are p***d!
      I told a Manager that Blu-Tac tears paint off walls for dec's. But I was over-ruled, and had to think 'It's your problem if you have to re-paint the walls'.
      You not leaving dec's up until Jan 6th? 12 days after Christmas - but no longer. Bad luck - if I believed in it , that is!

        Do you add tipple to water or vice versa? Will fido bark?

        ANGELA HERE - Ccomment on the PICTURE

        The bleak tree - winter coloured
        Stands forlorn - Sans Her Kaliedascope
        Of Autumn Foliage.
        But Her promised SPRING will COME
        And she can be transformed !
        I too was once like that TREE
        Stripped of my self esteem
        By Faithless Lovers !
        But then BRIAN came into my LIFE
        And my WINTER of discontent
        Morphed into SPRING again - and
        MY inner beauty has been restored - AMEN !

        I wanted to post this - BUT - I needed a TREE !
        If I post it can I use YOUR TREE - PLEASE - ANGELA ๐Ÿงก

            Totally get the feeling. Love the paint, for minimalist.

            Hello Michael,

            A good write.

            Yes, Xmas decs are lovely to have up but a nuisance to take down.

            I love my Xmas tree to be carefully colour co - ordinated. Not too many ornaments.

            Keep writing FineB
