This is genius, way to turn a bad situation around.

It looks like that he's been caught taking a shit on someone's lawn

Thanks! Trying to make the best of a shitty situation.

Not sure if I have any pictures, but at our old house I curled up the extension cords a way behind him so at the right angle his shadow on the house looked like he was taking a shit.

It is November.

Damn cant have shit with the grinch around, mf stole your tree

Brilliant!

I had a huge old pine tree in my front yard that was naturally split into two straight trunks from a single trunk. During a huge ice storm, one half of the tree fell over and pounded my neighbor's tiny Japanese maple into the ground like a tent peg, and the other half, no longer counter-balanced, gently leaned against my house. When they started cutting it up with chain saws, sparks started shooting, so they had to finish it up with an axe. They assumed lots of nails were in the tree.

Turned out some time in the ancient past, someone put up Christmas lights in it and never took them down, so now all the wires had grown *into* the tree. Like you could cut disks of it from the trunk, and see the old wires and bulb sockets among the rings.

You are astute. Not that it matters but

1. this was my long weekend and the only opportunity I get to have daylight. I don’t see daylight during the week at home.

2. the tree incident was/is pretty traumatizing to my family, so trying to move past this and kick starting Christmas early after thanksgiving but before Dec 1 makes everyone happy, so be it.

I’m not going to downvote you, you are welcome to your opinion.

Thanks!

Grinch always be stealing all our shit.

Holy crap, that entire story is insane! Glad everyone was safe, besides the Japanese Maple

My neighbor was pissed, since she had just planted it that past summer, and it was only 2-3' high.

Pretty sure many people decorate after doing the black Friday shopping. For me it was get er done before it's -20 and snowing

That’s brilliant.

No matter when you put it up way to make lemonade out of lemons and put a smile on your neighbors faces too!!! Sorry it happened and the stress I am sure it has caused you but thanks for seeing the brighter side along the way!!

Dang, wow. I can see that it sucks, but it could have been so much worse for here. Falling trees are terrifying.

Thanks for the kind words. Just trying to make the best of whatever the situation is lol. One day that will be a picture will look back on fondly but glad it passed.

Thanks!

Well I think you made the best of a shitty situation and for that you rock! May all the luck be in your future you deserve it 😁
