Dear Tacky Christmas Yards...I hate you!

Read the holiday anti-greetings that Kat and Tacky Christmas Yards received this year! They are almost as funny as the yards featured on the site.

Visit www.theburbblog.com and click on Mail Bag or just click here.

Tacky Christmas Yards WILL return next year despite the pleas received in my email. Until then, be sure the check out www.theburbblog.com


Be sure to submit all of your tacky holiday photos. Beginning in February, they will be featured on www.tackyholidayyards.com

Drum roll, please.

Violations: (Brace yourselves, here's a new one folks!) Why Bother? (Next year this violation may be called: "The Kids Did It" since this is the defense of so many of my anti-fans but for now we'll call this one "Why Bother?" Notice how a lack of shrubbery still allows for lights on the right side?) Don't be sending me any hate mail about this one, the time spent with your hate mail has put my own yard in this very same category.

What is with the gingerbread militia? One group is disguised to be a band and the rest are about to slide down the roof to take on the snowmen. Please, God, don't let it be true that those figurines can come to life at night...

Violations: King Kong Complex Snowglobe
There are so many un-named violations in this picture. Why does Jesus have one spotlight and the snowman has three? Why doesn't the flag have any lights on it. Celebrate Jesus a little bit, celebrate America not at all and celebrate Snowmen ALOT! Also, from the looks of it, you could either have half of your family live in the snowglobe or park a car in there!

Why would someone replace the head of an ox with a wreath? What happened to his head? If anyone looks guilty here, it's the guy with the big axe.
