Fio didn't know whether to be amazed or aghast.
While Husband searched out a new weed trimmer at Lowe's, she sashayed over to the Christmas decorations to check out this year's offerings. Yes, Fio knows it isn't even Halloween yet, but she does Christmas up big and likes to keep a weather eye open for stuff she might want to add to her own holiday decor.
Again, Fio didn't know whether to be amazed or aghast. Whatever happened to the glass ornaments in the shapes of fruits and vegetables that she used to collect to hang from her dining room evergreen swag, the extra-sized Christmas characters and house-shaped ornaments? Instead, all she saw were footballs and skunks and typewriters, mostly plastic.
The worst of all was an outside decoration--three illuminated penguins bearing gifts, which to her verged on the sacrilegious. How about having Donald Duck lying in the manger?
Maybe it's time to get back to stringing cranberries, whatever the heck they are.
