It's been down for weeks, I was illustrating a point about how invasive it is. Sadly, I left the Hot Wheels stuff in a pile until tonight.

I'd never put it up if I had my way. The tree that is.
The Christmas tree comes down on 12/26. This is the way.
Man... what ever happened to the whole twelve days of Christmas thing? I mean, they even wrote a song about it.

You guys would probably want to jump off a roof if you were polish. Trees and nativity stay up till the 6th of January to commemorate the 3 kings visit. Then again, Dec 26th is also a holiday (st stephens), and the first small gifts come out Dec 6. Maybe you'd suffer through it for the wigilia food though...

I am part Polish.

Our outdoor Christmas lights are still on - Natasha likes seeing them and I like messing with the neighbors. If they ask: we are Hindu and celebrating Diwali. Hell, I grew up in Brampton, Ontario and it was very common to see "holiday lights" in January.

F*ck, I miss real good Indian food.

Or I can tell them that I am a Pagan... its probably more believable story.

Only the superior / better part.

The body wasn't up for making our family recipe kielbasa this fall. Theres 2 cords fruit tree wood I've got to get rid of I didn't use for smoking since I also know it's not happening for Easter batch either. I'd cut/saved the trees/wood expecting it. Worse yet people are cheap and don't want to pay for smoking wood that isn't delivered? I told my better half ill let her stack a bonfire before giving all that effort and fuel away for free.

We do a real tree every year. It's non-negotiable that it's a real tree. The outside lights and inside decorations go out the day after Thanksgiving. The tree goes up on 12/1 or as close as possible. By 12/25 it's pretty much done. Also, my nephew, whose Autistic, is a Christmas machine. He lives for the holidays. Once he senses Halloween, he gets a gleam in his eye. He loves the entire holiday season but hates Christmas day because he knows it's the beginning of the end when the presents come out from under the tree. Everything comes down and gets put up on 12/26 to "rip the bandaid off" so to speak because he is not himself from 12/26 onward until everything is put up.

It works for us since everything is done and put away when we have to go back to work. 25 days of Christmas tree is enough for us.
 
Happy Diwali Mike from Bramalea !!

Yeah our stuff ( real tree ) goes up first week of December. New Years day all the inside stuff comes down while we make New Years BBQ. Lights stay until weekend after daughters Bday has past on Jan 27th ( today LOL ). Wifey likes coming home from work to see the lights up on the lawn and house when it still gets dark so early. Said she likes the warm glow of the red lights when she pulls in the driveway.

Took the front grill off to see about fitting the LED Chevy emblem to it, that's not gonna work since this one is embossed with the GMC to mount to it. Believe I am gonna have to get an aftermarket replacement since they cheap out and don't emboss it and only have the mounting for it. So all the work for not but if there's no pics it didn't happen so....

dont tell me what to do amy poehler GIF

It was only 5 screws so wasn't too bad, with it being a clone I would like to take it back to a chevy badged vehicle since thats what it is. A lot of my buddies are giving me grief since they like it the way it is, and say the interior is nice the way it is. My plan had been to pull the whole interior and go blue since I am going to wrap it the teal that they came in. But the guy I was getting the interior from is now gonna sell the truck as a whole since he got a replacement, so now debating on what to do since I can't seem to find the inteior I want. Since I have a 4 door parts truck that has the blue interior I am thinking of leaving the interior that is in it but pulling the seats since the front say typhoon in them and the door panel insert. Then using the front from my donor and putting new covers on them and then doing some wrapping on the insert and lower carpet on the door similar to what I did in the Monte. Thoughts? Waiting to get torn apart........
