Bizarre But Clever Christmas Decorations

Posted December 11, 2009 9:26 AM

From mental_floss Blog:

I knew a family once that had several mounted deer heads on their walls. At Christmas time, they would put a red clown nose on one of the trophies, which I though was rather clever. My kids didn't like it at all. Unfortunately, they moved away and I couldn't find any pictures of the idea on the internet. But I found plenty of other strange and wonderful holiday decorations that may tickle your funny bone.

I especially liked the "What they said" display. Save money, make use of the existing stuff. Especially if they are also paying the light bill!!

Thanks for a chuckle. I almost snorted my coffee!

A friend of mine decorates his tree using fishing lures. It actually looks pretty good. Wish I could find my picture of it.
