Do chickens have tongues?


I think it is someone who has NEVER tried to bring the spirit of Christmas/New Years/ Joy/ Celebration of life, into their hearts and feel left out of fun get togethers.


I say to that person. You get outa life just what you put in.


Have a party, give a gift. try a lttle to enjoy this festive time. Life is too short to do bitter ugly things. If you don't have a holiday, create your own. Invite people to your home. It makes me mad and sad all at the same time.

Sounds like a person who gets depressed during the holidays. Still no exciuse, in wanting other people to feel just as miserable. I sincerely hope he/she gets the help, they need.

He should be, "made an offer he can't refuse".

Form a neighborhood posse. When caught wrap the person in Christmas lights; plug him in and stand him up like a tree!

Very sad that someone would do this.
If you find him/her....send them to this neghborhood to "endure" the beautiful displays. It would be a good "punishment". I find it amazing how elaborate some people decorate. I especially like Santa on the ladder.

Thanks to everyone who responded to the "Scrooge" posting. Many were insightful, funny and sympathetic.

Happy Holidays to one and all even Scrooge and Grinch.

I used to apprehend people who committed crimes "under cover of darkness."

In my second career as a deputy sheriff I worked in the technical area. We had night vision cameras that we would set up in situations like this, obtain video and usually solve the crime.

If this were serious enough that someone really wanted to solve it, these cameras and recorders are available on the civilian market. I doubt that the local police would be willing to make an installation in a situation like this but it might be worth asking them.

This is a representative system Night Owl STA-44 4-Channel DVR with 4 Cameras: Cameras & Camcorders : Walmart.com

Sounds like someone in the neighbor doesn't like the lights. To bad there is no snow to see where the tracks come from. LOL

These displays are fabulous and if they are really in The Villages can't believe people are buzzing about them. Can you give us a clue where we can see these???
