I am sure that we all have our favorite childhood memories, movies, books, characters, etc. Well, for my husband it is the Grinch, from the book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Last year our oldest daughter bought a new house in a neighborhood that just loves to decorate for Christmas. There was not enough time or energy to put into decorating the front of the house with everything that it takes to move in to a new home. What can she do? Well, she can call Mom and Dad. So she did.
This is not an original idea, but it worked for her. She had decorated her front yard, and she did not have to stress about it.
This year, my husband wanted to do something similar to our front yard. He is competitive, even though he was competing with himself, so he got to work making How the Grinch Stole Christmas decorations for our house. Since he had turned this into a competition, well, he could not stop with just two! He also has plans to make more for next year.
I enjoy these projects, partly because he has so much fun, and also because I paint them. I am not an artist, but it is fun. He sprays them with a sealant to protect it against the elements. Typically our region does not get much rain, but winter 2022 has been one storm after another.
These were the major decorations for our yard this year. The way that my husband love the Grinch, you can expect more for the holiday season 2023.
