THERE ARE CASUALTIES

This has been a pretty rough year. Usually I get through the season with maybe a broken Christmas tree bulb.
Not this year. I don’t know what has happened but they are dropping like flies around here. Well they are dropping anyways.
First of all I pulled out a box with some lovely Carollers that were a gift from one of my sisters several years ago. IMG_0039
I have no idea what happened to them. Three of them have been decapitated and one has been hobbled. IMG_0040
What is even more strange is that there are only 2 heads. That is just weird. I don’t know when they fell or where.IMG_0041
Next when my eldest son stopped in for a visit he bumped my NOEL figurines that were on the window ledge. IMG_0037Now we are pretty much waiting for Jodie Foster to show up and tell us about “a tay inna wan”. (movie reference..remember Nel(l) IMG_0036
Lastly, at least I hope it is lastly, my poor little reindeer took a tumble when my younger son opened the kitchen window.IMG_0033 I know they shed their antlers but this is a bad time for this to happen being Christmas and all.IMG_0035This is the kind of stuff you expect when you have toddlers in the house not when everyone is all grown up.
Fingers crossed we will have no more casualties this year. And Jodie Foster…if you are reading this….I loved your movie Nel(l).

  2. Yikes....you are having some Christmas casualties and a few! Bring out the old hot glue gun, that is always the solution for broken this around my home. Diane

  3. Looks like you need to sit up a holiday urgent care. So disappointing. I blame my accidents on the cat lurking around the basement, where all the boxes are. I went down there one day and he had opened the Halloween stuff and was sleeping in the witch's hat.

  4. You have had a few casualties....but here's hoping that the end of the casualty war for Lori's collectibles has passed.
    I was at the setting of where "Nell" was filmed. I love that part of our country, and I, too, loved that movie. I have watched it many many times....
    Love,

  5. Yesterday I spent over an hour looking for an angel I thought I bought as a Christmas tree topper last year. It wasn't until I looked at pictures from last year's tree that I realized that I must have dreamed that I bought an angel. No such angel exists. What's up with that?

  7. My adult son is far more dangerous to his surroundings than he was when he was a toddler. Did you find the head yet? That's some weird voodoo there!

  8. Awwww a Christmas Boo Boo. Not a good thing, when it's something that you cherish. Wonder if the ghost of Christmas past is haunting your storage areas.

  12. Hi, Lori. Thanks for commenting on my gingerbread house and the heads up that it gets really, really hard...I guess gingerbread is pretty hard anyway. Please don't leave us hanging...the suspense of how those carolers were beheaded must be driving you (and is me) nuts!! Stay in doors...your mishaps are way too many! :)

  13. This is so sad, and kind of funny! What a great blog post. Thanks for sharing. My son, now 13, has a terrible reputation of a snow globe breaker. Up until last year, he broke a snow globe every year. Now he just picks them up to freak us all out.
