Not saying for sure, but I might just own this sweater. My 14 year old just pulled it out of hiding to wear as her costume to a tacky Christmas party. How humiliating:lolabove:
well, everyone needs to own one! I'm sure it looks much better on you than on that silly bearded pot belly model.

Don't be sad. If you're a child of the 80' like me, you owned many of them :lol::wave: But, i could never work them like this model.

This picture is really making the rounds. One of hubby's clients in Germany emailed this to hubby with the photo named "Unbenannte Anlage" (whatever that means).

Hilarious photo.

A great gift for hunters. Need rustic gifts for dad, or just get him a gift for outdoorsmen. This will be one of his favorite rustic items for decorating his bar. Also, they make perfect cabin gifts, or camper gifts. Our multicolor shotgun shell lights are made of authentic shotgun shells (primarily Winchester and Remington hulls).

My favorites were always the Santa welcomes you in door cover (in foil if possible) with a pair of big ole electric candles on either side of the door.



For some reason, neither my Mother nor my wife would ever let me have this?

Saw some silver icicles in CVS yesterday. My daughter didn't know what they were.
I think I'll go back and get some for our tree. Used to love those things when I was a kid.

Me too, ameliaj. We also had tinsel garland. As a kid I was mesmerized by the bubble lights on the tree.

Our neighbors' daughter lives in a very traditional house and decorated the front yard with Walmart stuff. It is so bad that it's good. Love it. Will post a photo later.

Bubble lights and tinsel were my favorite as a kid too! I wish I had that strand of bubble lights! I'd probably still sit in front of them and watch, even at this age.

We stayed in Old Florida Cottages one Thanksgiving and the home next to ours had an inflatable turkey on their balcony. We loved it! It was so funny.

I can't find the photo we took of it but it was very similar to this one...😀:

That spray snow in the can. We sprayed it on our window so it looked like we lived in a story book.....then of course, there was angel hair...

Flocked Christmas trees -- asbestos?

No pix yet of the Walmart decoration extravaganza. The 25 mph winds today punctured the giant Santa and others. Second time they have needed replacement. Not good products. But then how many times have you gotten out year-old Christmas lights, half of which don't work? :bang:

OK, I had a friend with one of these and I coveted it with all my heart in the 6th grade.
