A few Christmases ago our house and all of it’s cheesy Christmas decorations were featured on the 5:00, 6:00, and 11:00 news, but not because of our bad taste in design. We were “victims” in a story about a local football coach who took middle schoolers out to vandalize holiday decorations. One station even called what he did to a neighbor’s yard “Christmas porn” and told viewers that we had a blow-up doll in our yard.
Uhm, not unless you were counting baby Jesus in the blow-up nativity set. I blogged about it at the time. Looking back, I can see that I learned a lot of things from that event;
1) We’re all capable of screwing up.
2) It’s weird to have the media camped out in your front yard with your house as a backdrop for the live remote they’re doing for the 11:00 news.
