A fucking nativity scene! Now, I'm all for planning for the upcoming holidays and all, but COME ON. This is ridiculous. Aaaaand.......it wasn't some little plastic jobby with a lit baby Jesus, either. This was some kind of masterpiece! It had a circular window in the back with some beautiful stained glass and the wood it was constructed out of was waaaaay better than the real barn that Mary squeezed out Jesus in. Come to think of it, it�s probably made better than Mr. Nativity's house. This work of art is in the middle of the guy's front yard. You must also understand that in some upscale neighborhood this would probably fit right in, but our neighborhood is as close to a trailer park as you can get minus the trailers. The yards cannot classify as �lawns� because they are approximately 15� by 20� in size. About ten years ago our neighbors across the street graced their yard with a lovely plastic deer for everyone�s mutual enjoyment. HE�S STILL THERE. Get the picture? This is the same place where people who have garages and driveways choose to park their cars on the street to add to the ambiance. But I digress... Little kids are going to have go around the gigantic piece of lawn art to do their blessed Trick-or-Treating. Dogs will be using this magnificent artistic display as their own personal toilet for two or three months (I can only guess that It�ll be up long after Christmas since he�s put it up this early). And what about the poor mailman? Excuse me, MAIL CARRIER. I haven�t even bought Halloween candy or costumes for the kids yet. But this guy -- he�s got Christmas COVERED. What�s the matter with people these days? Can�t they just deal with the holidays as they come?
