10 Things to Avoid Saying to Your Spouse When Hanging Christmas Lights
Ah… decorating the house for the holiday season. Is there anything that creates more marital stress than getting the tree trimmed for Christmas? I think not.
To manage the stress levels, you should avoid the following:
- “You’ve got two red lights right next to each other, goober. You’re supposed to go yellow, green, red, blue, not yellow, red, red, green, blue…” (Not to mention the problems when calling your wife a goober!
) - “Up a little higher. You can reach it. Go on, try.”
- “What on earth do you do to these lights when you put them away every year? Tie them in knots?”
- “Give me that.”
- “You’ve got the whole thing on the tree upside-down. The electric plug thing should be down here at the bottom, not up at the top.”
- “I don’t care if you have found another two strings, I’m done!”
- “You’ve just wound ‘em around and around - I thought we agreed it shouldn’t look like a perfect spiral this year?”
- “Have you been drinking?”
- “Where’s the cat?”
- “If you’re not going to do it right, don’t do it at all. Don’t just throw them on, like you do the icicles. You’re worse than your father.”
