Roadside Christmas

You better stay away and run ... Aliens have landed ! -- BTW - I like your photograph !!

very funny -- both the pic and comment above !!

Love your choice of film and also the photograph. Thanks for sharing!

While this is at first funny and a bit creepy, it also seems rather sad. This lonely and unwanted Christmas ornament meant to celebrate joy and perhaps love and family is left neglected beside the road. Christmas ornaments are never alone, they are always with dozens of other Christmas ornaments and this one has been abandoned. To me it's like the Puff the Magic Dragon or an abandoned and neglected Teddy Bear. I think you did a good job of demonstrating it's solitude and predicament. While many may find it funny, I find it sad, and either way your picture was capable of evoking an emotional response.

I really like this picture; it's a symbol, to me, that the holidays are very often a lonely or solitary time, for some. It's lucky it's still standing. Around here some redneck ''sportsman'' would have shot it by now.

Between the commercialism & stress of other's expectation, loneliness & isolation seem a major player in the holidays. 'Sad indeed. Blansky's point about ornaments never being alone is rather poignant. When we do gather, we're often too frazzled to have any of our normal humanity left to enjoy w/ those we gather with. 'Hope all find a way to have & share more meaning than that.
