Tacky, oh yes! Gaudy? definitely. Tasteless? Absolutely but so much fun and little sign that people are paring back because of impending recession. Hey, we need a little Christmas -right this very minute!
This will be the last post for a couple of days as preparations take over. So wishing you all a very Merry, wonderful and safe Christmas. I know for some, it will be bittersweet and for others it will be a fantastic connection with friends and family. Thank you all for your comments throughout the year and hopefully, you'll keep stopping by.
So from the Rotund-her from Down Under . . . Season's Greetings!
thx baino... and season's blessings to you and yours
ReplyDeleteThank you! And to you and yours, Baino! I loved these shots and just finished reading the post about the horses -- what a beauty. And, boy, does he like cars. ;) Have a super holiday and a happy, healthy 2009!

ReplyDeleteMan. And that's in the warm. Weird.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to your post Christmas posts, have a good one!
And a bright, sparkly Christmas to you too, Baino
ReplyDeleteGo carefully with the sparkly or they may be "Chunder Down Under"
(((hugs)))
Happy Holidays! By the way I agree with the harsh punishment about the traffic lights. You can cause lethal accidents on the road. So people like that deserves harsh punishment. I like strictness.
ReplyDeleteHi Baino,
ReplyDeleteThere is a hospital in Dublin called the Rotunda, aptly named because being a maternity hospital, it is full of Rotund-Hers.
Nollaig Shona (or whatever it is) and commiserations because your days are getting shorter.
Happy Daiquiris!
ReplyDeleteHappy Families!
Happy Sunshine!
Happy Days!
What did I forget….?

ReplyDeleteOh I love that kind of vulgarity. What on earth it looks like glistering in the sun by day I hesitate know...
ReplyDelete... sorry I have not been by very much life has a way of circumthingymerbogging things. Someone (probably a binary gremlin) doesn't want us talking for when I did get through earlier only for the computer to crash on me the minute I clicked your name!

ReplyDeletewell? well? did you have a grand holiday?
ReplyDelete:)
There is one down the street from us, it's the ugliest thing I have ever seen, not cute like the ones in your photos. I will see if I can take a photo before they take the stuff down (won't be soon enough).
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Christmas Day and are enjoying your Boxing One. (hehe I read your note on FB about not wanting to move today, I can't blame you, it was in every way an over-indulgence day).
Happy Christmas and Wonderful Festive Season wishes to you and Clare and Adam.
