I have been called many mean things, but “GrumPa” was just a little over the top with an impressionable young granddaughter celebrating her second Christmas at our home. As such, the Grinch decided to come down from Mount Crumpit and help me decorate the house for Christmas. While the Grinch and I are quite pleased with the results, it would seem that our neighbors are not:
Most of our neighbors complain about the lights and traffic congestion in front of our house; however, a few expressed reservations at my choice of music - they felt that Amazing Grace was better suited for funerals than celebrating the birth of Jesus. The fact that my brother Jon had selected Amazing Grace for his wedding did nothing to assuage their concerns.
While I had hoped that I could weather a few cheap shots from the neighbors since we are on a first name basis (I don’t know their last names since I do Facebook), I have now been informed by our local police that the lighting is disruptive and not in accordance with Town ordinances. As such, I am now obliged to turn off the lights at 8:30 p.m. so our neighbors can watch their favorite reality TV show in peace: the Republican Party debates.
This video was filmed by my recently-established internet video marketing company, appropriately called Malgusto.com.
Merry Christmas you all. Aren’t you happy you don’t have a neighbor like me.
(Note to Langston: This is not my house. Actually, the lighting and music are supplied by some technological genius – clearly unemployed – who lives in Cincinnati, OH. No wonder Ohio is considered a “swing state” in next year’s election.)
