My favorite part of Christmas is seeing all the tacky Christmas items. I love large, glittery ornaments, huge light displays in front of small trailers, and crazy Christmas sweaters. The tackier the better. We usually don't do a lot of Christmas decorating at my house, but this year I dusted off some of our decorations that haven't seen a Christmas since Leo was born. I put up a large tree (the past few years we haven't had room for anything other than a small tree in Leo's room). Our bookshelves and table are filled with snowmen, angels and Christmas picture frames. Again, the tackier the better, right.
No tacky Christmas is complete without the traditional driving around town looking for Christmas lights. Ok, I'll admit it, I love it more than the children do. Nothing says Merry Christmas like the glow of a well lit house. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of my parents, my sister and myself driving around oooing and awwwing over Christmas lights. Thankfully, I have pasted this love of everything tacky down to Leo and Nora. May the tacky Christmas live on in our family for many generations to come!
