WTH Wednesday-Sometimes less is more

While I enjoy a festive decorated house for the holidays, I think the fashion rule of less is more should be applied. Put all your accessories on then take one thing off because less is more and you don’t want to look like a jewelry store just threw up on you.
In the following pictures, they should have taken 2, 3, 4, maybe even 5 things off.




Pick a theme people…pick a theme.


Being rich doesn’t give you good taste. Just saying.


The strippers don’t perform till 8pm.


It’s a Hoarders Christmas!


How the hell do you get back into the house?


I really don’t know what to say besides-there house has a freaking crown!! I wants so bad.


“Santa ain’t missing us this year damn it!”



It was all good did they added the 2 little reindeer in front. Overkill!!

What’s Christmas Without Cookies?

I love Christmas. Gathering with my family, watching my child’s eyes light up when she sees the present from “Santa”, watching football, and cookies. Growing up, my favorite memory of the holidays was waking up each morning to the smells of nutmeg, cinnamon, and all things sugary sweet as my mama did her holiday baking. Baklava, kiflis, chocolate covered pretzels, snicker doodles, and more covered every available surface as my mama rolled, mixed, sprinkled, and packages all before Christmas Day. She always made twice as much because I and my brother managed to sneak more then a few bites of each tempting treat.

I was scouring the internet looking for some Christmas cookie recipes to share with my family and came across a few that are begging me to make them.

WTH Wednesday-Keeping the holidays awkward

Nothing says Merry Christmas like an awkward family photo.

 

 
Notice dad put his foot down when it came to his outfit.

 

 

Santa looks scared.

 

 

 
Apparently the holidays are mysterious and confusing for some families.

 

 

 
When crazy seeps into the holidays.

 

 

Santa excites me too.

 

 

 
Oops, looks like Santa’s been a little naughty himself.

 

 

 
Somethings are better left unsaid. Or in this case, un shown.

 

 

 
Johnny decided that this photo op only needed one star-him.
