I have a rule: no Christmas decorations before December. Tomorrow I'll go a little nutty with red and gold and glittery things. All symbolic, for some reason, of the holiday.Another symbol of the season is the tent. I think we can all agree that Occupy Wall Street pretty well established that icon to represent the movement.
I support OWS, and the other day I said to Cranky, "We should peg a tent in the front yard. The neighbors would hate it, though."
(Note: I don't care if they hate it. I am a neighborly neighbor, but I have a wild streak.)
Well! I figured out how to put a tent in the yard and not offend any of the 1% on my street. (I jest! They're not the 1%; just Republicans.) I would decorate the tent with Christmas ornaments, maybe a string of lights powered by a bicycle generator. Who could object?
I went searching for the perfect tent, and I found it. It's Christmas tree shaped, in shades of green. And it even comes with its own angel on top.
Power to the people, right Santa? All I want for Christmas.

I love the Occupy Christmas tent. Very festive!
Hi, Kalyn! :) Thanks. Yeah, I am so damn close to nailing in a little puppy tent out there. Not today; we are expecting gale-force winds. Cranky actually offered to go buy a tent.
SHOP LOCALLY, YA DOOF
Zat you at the top playing angel? I thought you were blonde.
Zoomie: I am a brunette now. Just been too lazy too achieve peroxidism. But hell no, that's not me.
Where in heavens name did you find this? The craziest camouflage I've ever seen!!
You are awesome!!!
Very nice. And room for Bartlett too!
Greg: I found it on Google images. It's a work of art, see. Crazy.
Cheryl: Naw, come drive by my house. No tent. But I MIGHT! :)
Dawg: It is a rather roomy structure. Think about how tall that model at the top must be! Heh.
You're a brunette? Me too :)
The whole xmas thing is already making me grit my teeth, don't want to play :(
Love the tent! But um... is it made locally? ;)
Mouse: I was born a blonde and managed to hang onto that color for a long time, but there's none left. It's now sort of -- wait for it -- mousy brown.
Don't worry about Christmas, don't grit, don't play. There. Better?
EB: It must be local! Where else would a silly piece of art come from? :)
