Holiday Rush Blog Hop

December 11, 2010

Welcome to my HOLIDAY RUSH post!

*

This year, I want to have a fun, old fashioned family Christmas Griswold style.

(America’s premiere experts on all things Christmas)

 

And the best part about a fun, old fashioned family Christmas is that it’s really, really simple. I only need a few things…

Tree

Lights

 

Presents

 

Killer Squirrel

 

Kidnapping

 

SWAT Team

 

And the most important part of all….


Santa Claus!

    This chain lights can be used in a lot of ways.

    Maybe you can send the SWAT team my way? We’ve got an emergency here (I’ll manage to create one I swear).

    Happy Holidays

    • December 11, 2010 1:30 pm

      Seriously, with a SWAT team like that, I’d totally have an emergency every day! Thanks so much for stopping by Ute!

      Happy Holidays!!

    It’s not Christmas without Clark Griswold. Of course, that strand of lights would be a nice addition to my Christmas!

    I think I need the Swat team to come and rescue me.

  23. December 11, 2010 9:47 pm

    I’m surprised I didn’t see David Duchovny taped up and blind folded under ‘kidnapping’. lol Just kidding. The squirrel was a cute twist to your list.

    Happy holidays darlin all the way from Canada 😉
