OK, peeps. I know it’s been a while. But this is worth the wait.
The following are pics from my mother-in-law’s house. We didn’t spend Christmas day there, but we came up on the 28th to celebrate Clausemas.
To give you perspective, her townhouse is about 800 square feet. ALL of this is inside her living/dining room (except the last pic). I shit you not – this is mind boggling.
And our inheritance. Hellooooo, eBay!
THE TREE – can you count how many ornaments are on this tree? We guess it’s in the 1000s. About 1/2 of them move, light up, or both. It is held up with a brace and wire. Yes, my friends, this is our inheritance. All Hallmark ornaments ready to sell on eBay once she kicks the bucket.
At least we have something to sell when she’s in the nursing home to pay for her stay.
Wizard of Oz Mini Tree
And, yes, toilet paper.

Holy crap, so she starts decorating in September then? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that much Christmas stuff, evah!
Holy Crap! I can’t decide if it frightens me or I love it!!
You are a lucky lucky person…
Oh my lord! That made my eyes bleed.
Ummm, I gonna go out on a limb here and assume that your MIL doesn’t read your blog…
Hilarious, by the way! Though it does make me KINDA wish that I had bee less of a Scroogy McHumbug this year and that I were the kind of crazy lady that had thousands of fun ornaments…
I’m not sure I believed you when you told me about the ornaments, but now I believe and all I can say is….WOW! How did you get the girls to not touch everything, if PirateBoy would have been there, well…there would not be so many pretty ornaments.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I miss you!!!
Holy smoke! I would not like to put all that away or take it out!! I wonder if she still asks for ornaments for Christmas!
Wow! Just – WOW!
I’m so glad I’m not the one who has to put all of that away.
She is a christmas crazy lady. I swear, if she could have a house decorated for Christmas year round she would and it would be her happy place. Hey, at least we know that our inhertinace will continue to grow!!
that tree is awesome!!!!
So….how weird is it to go with Santa and Rudolph checking out the OBGYN view?
I just ran across your blog! I do NOT put my Wizard of Oz ornaments out as my kids are 6 and 4 and love that movie, but as they get older I will. I have 3 curio cabinets full of Wizard of oz stuff!!!!!!!!!!!
