Because of my twisted roots in South Buffalo (born in Lackawanna) and my wife's family's tacky taste during her youth in Rochester, we have always had a pair of pink flamingos in our front yard.

 

She puts scarves on them in the winter. :(

 

We tried to get the white metallic Christmas tree with the revolving light that made it change colors, but her Grandmother could not find it. :(

Excellent! :)

 

May I suggest the addition of one of those reflecting-ball-on-a-pedestal things?

 

You might remember when folks put Christmas scenes on their windows with colored Glass Wax..

We had a glass ball for a while, but it just did not make it.

 

When I was a kid I was one of the people doing Glass Wax stencils (white only) ! :P

My sister in law has one of these. I will ask where she found it.

I wonder if it's still sold...we never did the stenciling, but we used it...back when homes were heated by coal, it did a good job protecting the inside of the windows from soot.

 

An ammonia wipe - clean windows!

 

That puff of soot in the movie "Christmas Story" brings back memories to me.

 

I was a sooty child. Ashy, too... :doh:
