Most of us have been in the position where we are ready to throw our holiday decorations out the window due to sheer frustration. Possibly we are inclined to throw them at our spouse?

Decorating can be a lot of fun and a memorable part of your traditions. Yet, when one light goes out, they all go out! Those memorable moments can turn into stressful moments just as easily.

Here is one lady that handles her decorating problems with a great sense of humor (actually, all of her posts are quite amusing). Angela at The "Guga" stage of my life blog tells us about a pre-lit snowman she bought that didn’t quite work right in her post "Let’s go to ACE".

"After reading the insert, which was carefully tucked into the folded bottom of the box, we realized we had 2 options – take off all the lights and send them back to the manufacturer for a replacement set – OR go buy some lights and get it done NOW.

As I mentioned in the past, Mr. W is retired and his definition of NOW is MUCH different than MY definition of NOW. I would have gone to ACE and purchased the lights immediately (my definition of NOW). Mr. W. has reassured me that he will go buy the replacement set of lights real soon (his definition of NOW)."

I related to this very quickly because my definition of "now" is also very different than my husband’s. Luckily, our decorating went off without a hitch this year. However, I do remember  several "memorable moments" from years past where it was not as easy.
