How You Spell “Happy Holidays” In The South.

First of all - it's time to announce the winner of the Shark Portable Steamer!!

Since it was such a big giveaway and there were so many entries, I fired my usual random number generator (Excel) and used the "official" one - random.org. And, it told me:

I'm sure you're wondering who entry #101 was..... This is the Day !!!

I'm excited that the Portable Steamer is going to someone who's about to have a new baby - yay for easy sanitization!

Congrats!


Now... for a not-quite-but-almost-nearly Wordless Wednesday Post...

Mixing football and holiday decor has been a long held Southern tradition.

But this year, the looming National Championship really steroidified that custom. There are many houses that have their football pride much more prominently displayed than their Christmas decor.

I present to you exhibit A:IMG_6263
No, this isn’t my house, thank goodness – just a neighbor.

But yes, my husband is most definitely jealous (and maybe scheming as to how HE can hire the football field painter to paint HIS yard) every time we pass by.

Check out everyone else's Wordless Wednesdays at 5 Minutes for Mom!

You're lucky (or unlucky depending on how you see it) that your team's colors are decor compatible. Hubby's orange and blue do not go with my decor. :)

Is steriodified a word? If not, it is now! :)

I love it. It would actually have to be a VT for me, but the concept, the concept is what I love.

Wow. I really, really hope my husband doesn't stumble on your blog in my reader today. I can just imagine a huge blue & gold M in my front yard. *Shakes head in dismay*

That's sweet! We're Panther's fans so we're NOT doing that this year ;)

I would HATE it if my neighbors did that. Of course, I would be totally okay with it if they displayed the right team's logo! :)

Katrina said...

I'm never showing this post to my husband. ;) We'll have a big Patriot's symbol in our front yard haha.
