I don't post on here that much, but you ladies are a fun bunch, so I figure I'll get a little more active.
Anyways, my ILs are pretty into decorating for Christmas. Like, really into it. They're the people with a whole city's worth of lights in their front yard, and a blow up Santa with his sleigh and reindeer. Whatever, it's Christmas, I get it (sort of).
So this is what is weird to me. They do that for EVERY holiday. Even the not-really-a-holiday holidays. We were just over there the other day, and they have their whole house decked out for Valentine's Day. I didn't even know you could buy all that stuff for V-Day. They've hung banners, and put all their family photos into heart-themed frames. I think it's bizarre. And they do this for every holiday. Well, except St. Patty's. Because they're hardcore Southern Baptist, and they don't likes them Catholic Irish (btw I'm as Irish as they come on my mom's side, though not Catholic. Imagine how THAT went down when we showed up in St. Patty's day gear last year.).
So please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that is weird as all heck.

That is weird. I get Christmas, and even Halloween, but I would think a few small decorations for V-Day, and the other holidays.
I am really only good about decorating for Christmas, but I'm going to try to get better at decorating a little bit on other holidays now that I have a baby.
It's strange...there's a house I used to drive by regularly that did the same thing - every holiday, including St Patty's Day, was decked out beyond crazy. I think the guy used to actually make some of the decorations in his workshop! And at Christmas time they even scheduled open house tours...no I never stopped to take a closer look!
