I loved this. My mom was all over these things. That should have been a clue....

Ha. NO. But every holiday consisted of a shitload of decorations placed just right. Fall included a wicker cornicopia with plastic fruit, dozens of gourds, and lots of leaves and cinnamon pine cones or life was ruined. Aint nobody got time for that.

Are you my SIL? My MIL has 35 plastic totes full of holiday crap. They span a whole wall in the garage floor to ceiling. At Christmas there isn't an empty surface to put your fucking G&T, which you need because one kid is breaking all the shit that's standing in the way of your drink, and the other can't sleep for the doorknob hangers with bells on both sides of each interior door.

I post this to FB every year, sensitive ears (eyes) be damned. I love McSweeney's so much.

Big Lots has glass and glitter pumpkins for those of you who love that stuff (like me) but don't want to pay Pottery Barn prices.

My wallet and husband wish you hadn't told me this.

I saw fake half-glittered pumpkins at Target the other day. Half painted and half glitter. They looked like Easter eggs.
