Hello and happy December to you! I have made it a tradition on my blog that in December every post is centered around lists, and here we are again! If you can believe it, this is already the fourth year!
Over the last week, I have decorated not one, not two, but three houses for Christmas, giving me a full face dunk into the Christmas season. The first of those three houses was my grandpa’s house, and upon arriving there on a Sunday afternoon, I quickly took my place at the Christmas tree to fluff branches and hang ornaments, a job that has been mine for the last 15 years or so.
Similar to my parents’ tree, my grandpa’s hosts seemingly thousands of ornaments. Some cute, some questionable, many sentimental and a few downright strange, which is perhaps why I love it so much. So once we were finished, I decided to look around and hand out some superlatives and these were the results:
.
Most Likely to be Mistaken for the Charmin Toilet Paper Bear
.
Most Likely to Put the Bob the Builder Theme Song in Your Head
.
Biggest Overachiever
(We get it, Karen, you can sew, but no one needs a stocking that big.)
.
Most Likely to Ask Kids What They Want for Shredmas
.
Most Likely to Make You Ask Questions Like, “Why?” and, “No, Seriously, Why?” and, “Aside from Everything Else, Why is this Giant, Terrifying Mouse Wearing a Headband?”
.
Most Likely to Make You Do A Doubletake
(Things you might notice in your doubletaking: the horse has no feet, the horse is giving the woman incredibly sassy side eye—which could perhaps be attributed to the intense amount of overfeeding she has been doing, which could perhaps be the reason he has no feet, or more specifically that his feet have been swallowed by his belly—also the woman’s glasses are a disaster and can’t possibly be providing any assistance.)
.
Most Likely to be Hung Front and Center
(because I made it and want your praise)
.
This is a three time winner for:
-Best Style
-Most Athletic Golf Ball
-Best Legs
.
Most Likely to Make Me Jealous for the 31st (even though I’m only 29) Year in a Row
.
Most Likely to be Out of Date Almost Immediately after this was Purchased
(As of now, if you include wives, husbands, grandkids and great grandkids, there should be upwards of 15 more stockings on this fireplace.)
.

Happy List-cember, y’all!
