The Nightmare Before Christmas: A Story in Pictures (and words, too)
Today did not start off too well and while I can imagine much worse things happening, most of the events so far have been less than positive. I haven't been feeling the best this week, but I had scheduled to take today off work to do some Christmas shopping and some things around the house, plus I figured I could get a little extra rest to get over this pesky cold. This was the only day all year I've taken off just to take off. By last night, I was running fever and woke up feeling pretty bad this morning. So much for my productive day off. Well, I got to feeling a bit better and decided to make one last trip to the mall so that I can avoid the crowds next week. So I go to the mall, get what I need, return home, and enter the house when what to my wondering eye did appear but Tragedy. (Cue tragic music).

Oh, the horror! Oh, the drama! I stood there in disbelief. For a brief moment, I even wondered if someone had broken into the house, but from all indications, it was an act of God. I hadn't even touched the tree today!

Sadly, several ornaments were lost in the accident.

But at least The World was spared.

If I were into doing mosaics, I would be set.

But instead, I'll be into re-wrapping all the wet Christmas presents (From what I can tell so far, none of the gifts themselves were ruined.)

Posted by: Jen at December 7, 2006 05:35 PMHow frustrating! At least you were able to salvage some of the ornaments. And now you have a good reason to buy some new ones (always a plus).

This looks like the work of the devil. Or at least Christmas hating terrorist. The grinch also may be invovled.
