I took a few photos last year of some Christmas decor that struck me as downright creepy. I never managed to write a story about it, but I thought it would be fun to see if anyone else out there has a radar for creepy Christmas decor. During your Holiday shopping spasms, if you see a decoration that seems a little off, and happen to have a camera on you – snap a photo and send it to mysistersfarmhouse@live.com. I’ll post the pictures as they arrive. On December 22nd, I will choose a few winning photos based on over-all creeptastic creepiness or just plain outrageous absurdity.
You must be vigilant!
You never know when a Christmas decoration. is going to totally CREEP YOU OUT!
The grand prize will be a 25.00 gift card to the online store of your choice.
I will also have some fabulous runner-up prizes. and when I say ‘fabulous runner-up prizes, I actually mean ‘used books’.
So get your creep on!
Because sick, pasty, bedridden Santa might not make it if you don’t.
Ho, Ho, Ho
Can we send pictures from years past? Can we enter more than one photo?
I look forward to seeing the entries!
Enter as often as you like. I care not when the photo was taken. I sense that creepy Christmas decorations hold something of a fascination for you?
Heh – I just like plain old creepy! But it will give me a good excuse to look harder, and maybe hit a couple of antique malls I know of which would be likely to have some creepy stuff.
Ha! this makes my new smart phone worth every penny! Get ready to get some from me!
I wish you’d run a contest for just, plain shitty presents. The first Christmas that I was married, my mother-in-law gave me a framed photo of my husband and his first wife on their wedding day. She said, “I didn’t know if you had one of those.”
The second year, she gave me a fly swatter.
The third year, she was dead. (But don’t worry. Not by my hands.)
There are just no words.
i can’t decide if that santa need a butcher knife in his hand or a cigarette hanging out of his mouth and a deflated hoochie mama blow up doll laying beside him.
p.s. i may have posted this comment, like 10 times….my daughter’s laptop is annoyed with me.
That first picture looks like Chucky!
OMG…I sooooo love your sense of humor. This is a great contest. Can’t wait to see the submissions.
My narrative for the above:
“It was clear that Mrs. Claus had been bitten and was looking for her next meal. Santa, trying desperately to not become Mrs. Claus’ next meal and a Zombie himself, tried to act like he was dead.”
No creepy pictures to submit, but can’t wait for the submissions!
