Tuesday Tale of Trash and trees





Dad and TOGM started a new tradition this year!!  
I hear it is catching on like wildfire around the 'hood.  
It is called a lazy rednecks Christmas Chair...yes Chair not Tree


Yep this is where our tree should have been, but Dad and TOGM never got the
tree out of the box, Dad was a tad under the weather in early December by the time
he was chipper again it was 7 days before Christmas.  So mom
put the Christmas blankie over the chair and then all the packages in the chair.
After all the pressies were unwrapped, TOGM grabbed the blankie off the Christmas Chair
folded it up.  Quickest ever getting the 'tree' down!!

That is how a lazy redneck decorates!!

  1. MOL! My human wishes she could have done something like that - it's going to be a chore (she says) getting the tree down and the ornaments put away.

  6. I think the Christmas Chair is a brilliant idea. We got the pre-lit tree up but never put any decorations on it!!!!! Well, it had pine cones on it and that was enough for me!

  9. That box looked interesting but a bit small for laying down in so we see why you weren't really interested. We love the Christmas chair. BOL!

  10. BOL! Whatever works for your tree, I guess. Momma loves the Christmas lights, so I know she'd never go for that.

  14. Lightning just doesn't get kitty fascination with boxes - he thinks they are evil.

    Mom says she likes that idea of decorating a tree - sure makes for a lot less work:)

  16. Wow, we can see this trend with the chair catching on! BUTT maybe you need to throw some lights on the chair. Good work with driving your mom nuts with the box. She can always put it on the Christmas chair until next week BOL!

  17. Madi, you are quite the box professional! With the bonus of driving your humans crazy! Double paws up!

  18. Good idea with the chair! We only decorated the top of the living room TV cabinet this year. And now it's all put away until next year in hopes that ghostwriter gets some time off for a change.

  20. Well I would be quite happy with a Christmas chair, as it would not obstruct the view out of our bay window, which is a problem I have when Gail puts up the tree here in Aberdeen. But Gail always insists on having a real live tree, claiming it is about the only Christmassy thing she genuinely enjoys. So I guess I'm stuck with it!

  21. Mom thinks that the Christmas chair is a great idea. Our prelit tree was up for a few days before it got any decorations on it.

  22. Mama says next year it will most likely be a redneck chair and a few Christmas windows instead of a tree :-). Great boxing today too, Madi!
