How do I keep our one year old husky from chewing on our Christmas decorations? Our husky has a tendancy to get out of her collar when she is tied up, so we keep her in the front yard because it has a fence. Unfortunatley she has a funny habit to chew on anything that is out there, including Christmas decorations. We don't have this problem inside, so it is a puzzler. My question is, how can I have even the simplest Christmas decoration (she chewed through our christmas lights around the windows, and our solar powered path lights) when nothing is safe out there?

Why do people buy Christmas stuff more at retail stores than as used goods? Why do people flock to retail stores where they have to pay premium prices to buy Christmas decorations, and yet at yard sales and thrift stores, people don't even look at Christmas stuff?

Can't give away Christmas decorations!

Can I sue my neighbor for having too many christmas decorations? I was taking a Left turn into my neighborhood. My two neighbors that corner the end of the street decorate their homes and yards as if they were an extension of LaSalette shrine or The Grizwalds of Natl Lampoon.

The result: my car was totaled by someone light peeping and they rear-ended me. Can I sue?

Name of a children's book about a single stand of white Christmas lights? I remember reading it as a child. In it, in an effort to outdo his neighbors, the father, who usually puts up 1 strand of white lights, keeps putting up Christmas decorations, until he eventually causes a blackout. Angry neighbors ransack his yard, destroying all of his decorations. While they feel guilty and offer to rebuild everything, he decides to only put up one string of lights. Anyone know the title and author of this book?

What's the best way to celebrate Christmas away from home? Because of the unexpected death of my precious precious father, my mother wants her two adult daughters, their husbands, and the six granchildren to meet far from everyone's home in a cabin to celebrate Christmas in a new way. Oddly, the property is called, "Our Heaven." In trying to think about how to get going for the holidays, I wonder what people typically do when they leave home for the holidays. I'm an organizationally challenged person and just packing for a normal trip is apparently an ordeal for my family to observe. I'm wondering about decorating at home - how much - the usual, just a token - yard decorations like those animatronic deer? Should I bake and bring things there? Should I bring decorations? What will help make it Christmas there? What am I not even thinking about? We're going away for a week starting the 23rd. We're driving. The cabin is an hour from anywhere, on acreage.

How are Outdoor Christmas Lights & Decorations Set Up? Though I put a Christmas tree & holiday lights up indoors every year, from next year on, I would also like to put lights and decorations up outdoors - on the exterior of the house as well as in the yard. That being said, since I've never done it before, I was just wondering how lights and decorations are put up outdoors. How are they connected to a power source (if any) without having long extension cords everywhere. I mean, for example, we have a backwards "h" shaped driveway. So if I wanted to put some lighted decorations in my front yard, without having an extension cord (or cords) cutting across the driveway. to the power outlet near the front door of the house. How do people who put up outdoor Christmas lights and decorations connect it to the power source without having extension cords hanging all over their yards?

He thinks his creation looks like a sleigh and the north pole. It looks like pieces of junk with lights on it.
How to get someone to stop kicking down our moving reindeer holiday decorations? We have 2 lighted reindeer in our front yard as Christmas decorations and someone kicks them down every night. We can't exactly put up a camera to tape them but I was thinking we should put a sign on their necks like "Smile! You're on camera" or something like that....Any ideas? Oh, they were really cheap from last year after-Christmas shopping sales and we'll probably just get rid of them by the end of the season. Eventhough a few of the lights on them are burnt out...its still nice to see them outside looking cheery.
Help stabalizing a yard ornament...? I have a 6 foot cross that I added white lights too and want to put it in the front yard as a Christmas decoration.

Teenagers Remove Our Christmas Decorations? This has been happening since last year, we decorate our yard for the holidays for the little kids to enjoy. However, the teenagers get a kick out of pulling them out everyday when they come home from school. We have talked with the parents in the past and have not had any problems. We do have a new family that just moved in with teenage kids, and today some of our decorations have been removed, and are laying out in the grass. We work very hard to pay for our things, we do not decorate tacky, we are getting very tired of this happening! Is there anything we can do?? Does this qualify for vandalism?? Sorry I wasn't sure what category to place this in.

Do I need a lawyer to keep my yard display up? ok here is the situation. I have lived in my current house for five years ( I own it) every year since i have lived here I have decorated for Halloween and Christmas. This summer I got a new neighbor and he is trying to get a restraining order to make me take down my Christmas Decorations!!! Now my yard display is not that large it consists of about 10 items, 3 inflatables 1 santa 1 snowman and 1 train. I also have a small deer and sleight display about 5 foot long. As far as light I only have lights on the eves of my house and 2 trees that go off at 10pm every night. I have gotten a summons to go to court over this my question is do I need a lawyer to fight this?
Can the police legally tell me to take down my Christmas Decorations? Should I? I live on a main road in a 2 story house, and I put up half a strand of lights on my roof with the other half dangling to the ground. I then put winter clothes on my wife's mannequin, and I have it hanging by the gutter with a ladder knocked over on the ground underneath the mannequin. I've had 3 people walk into my yard, and walk up the ladder, only to find that it was a mannequin. And 4 people accidentally drove into my ditch thinking it was a real person. The cops came today and said that I have to take down the decoration or I will be fined $500. Can they legally do this? Should I take it down? Is it my fault people can't drive?
My next door neighbour has accused me of stealing her Christmas decorations, can I get in trouble? She put up plastic 6 candy canes in her front yard, and yesterday morning there were only 5. She said I waited until she was asleep and then went over and took it. I was outraged, I would never do a thing like this. I don't even how she came to think it was me. She said she is calling the police about it, and that she wants me arrested. I didn't even do anything. 10% of me finds it funny, the other 90% is scared of being prosecuted.

What is the worst thing about the snowy, icy winter season? Is it: -The fact that you can't just run out and hop into your vehicle because it's freezing cold, and are forced to start it 10 minutes before you leave. -The crappy road conditions - Being forced to look at those Christmas blow up yard decorations from Wal-Mart in every other neighbors yard? (I don't mind them, it just gets to be a bit much when there's so many jammed packed into a tiny yard.) But whatever it takes to make their season bright I guess. :) Which is it?
Have you toned down your Christmas due to finances? I don't know about you, but driving down my block I just don't see Christmas decorations in as many yards. Some houses don't even have a tree in the window. With the price of gas driving up the price of Everything some people must be finding it difficult to deal with the commercial demands of Christmas. I'm disabled. I live on less than $730 a month. Even though I bought presents through the year for the grandkids I simply could not budget anything for the adults in my life. Heating my home has become near impossible. So while everyone else is rushing about to stores and Buying Buying Buying... I sit at home with a 3 foot tree with 9 presents under it. All of them are for my two grandsons. I haven't gotten a single present from a relative --nor do I expect anything. We are all far too broke. So have a Merry Christmas everyone, but in all your merryment--stop and think about those who have less. I have a roof over my head and food to eat- not a feast--but food. Enjoy!
Christmas outside and lawn decorations? A waste of money or not? What's your opinion? I did the whole decorate the house thing one year.. it was a pain in the rear, it was a tripping hazard because of all the cords in the yard.. and we had nowhere to store all these moving reindeer, candy canes and giant snow globe after it was all said and done. We ended up selling all the stuff in a garage sale. I think it's more fun to drive around and see other people's lights than waste the money on this stuff.

Why do people find it funny to vandalize others property? When I left my house this morning for work, I discovered that my Christmas decorations (reindeer) were broken and lying in my yard. This happened last year too so we bought new ones this year & placed them closer to our house so someone can't just walk by and hit them. I am so angry and disgusted that I just want to take all of my decorations down right now. I work with our local Police Dept & I spoke with the Chief today, but if I file a report it will be in the newspaper & in some way I feel that it may give whoever did it some satisfaction. I just want to know WHY people feel compelled to destroy other peoples property.
I've been dreaming of a Wet Christmas? It's raining this week and I can't even light up my Yard Decorations. Why do you hear about snow, snow, snow?

How do get my landlord to give me privacy and stop coming into my yard all the time? He lives across the street, but comes and hangs out in my yard every day. He cuts flowers in my yard and takes them home. He even tried to decorate the outside of my house with his decorations my first Christmas here without consulting me first and I made him stop. I can't sit on my patio. I feel like my house is not my home, but just an extension of his house and that I have no right to privacy or say-so as to what happens in my own house or yard; that he feels that only he does. And, yes, I changed the locks because I am sure he was coming into the house whenever I wasn't at home. The ironic thing is that,even though he spends so much time in my yard, he won't do any maintenance or repair except yard work. My smoke alarm became defective and wouldn't work and he just yanked it out and left me with a hole in my ceiling that has been there for months now. BTW I am a single female living alone. It's aggravating always seeing him when I look out my windows/doors. It feels like prison
What do you think of banning religious holiday decorations? Where I live they are trying to pass a by-law to outlaw any religious affiliated decorations - even outside on private property. At Christmas only snowman, candycanes and other non-religious decorations would be allowed to be displayed outside. I can understand not allowing religious affiliated decorations on public property but is it that offensive to place them in your own yard? If I go past decorations that were inspired by another religion's teachings it does not cause me any offense because whether I share the same beliefs as them it is their own property and should be allowed to do as they wish as long as it isn't explicit or derogatory. Do you feel as if religious-affiliated decorations outside should be banned or the world is trying to become to politically correct? To all the questions about where this is happening: I live in Canada. Also, the by-law would prohibit businesses or any other public spaces to allow these decorations displayed. By public spaces in my above additional details I mean anything that can be viewed by the general public i.e. yards, schools, malls, church yards, businesses.... etc
