HO, HO, NO!

Happy Holidays Everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the season of peace and love. You all have probably taken a day or two to trim the tree and place some twinkle lights in your windows, bushes, or yards. Some well placed decorations provide a bit of joy for everyone. 

But what happens when something goes wrong in the execution of a decorating idea? Something doesn't get translated properly from the idea the decorator has in mind to the end result. Tasteful can become gawdy or trashy with one too many missteps in the decorating tango. Oooo, aaahhh, how cute/sweet/beautiful/elegant, can suddenly become, "what the heck were they thinking?", or even worse, "OMG, look at the winner of the trashiest light display."

For the past few years, my holiday season commute to work has been transformed from mundane to ghastly because of the Christmas display assembled in one of the yards along the route. Check out the picture below and judge for yourself! I ask you, is this (A) Jolly old elf, or (B) Creepy pedophile Santa?
