HOLIDAY DECOR

Quote
We see them coming down the road towards us ... vehicles decorated for the Holidays.

So, how 'bout it?  Do you decorate your vehicle(s) for the holidays?  If so, how?

And, what is the oddest and/or most-creative vehicle decoration you've seen?

I suppose if these are meant to celebrate the holdiay and promote the farm, they make sense.

But when I see some yuppie in a Ford Explorer festooned with garland, tearing down I-75, I just shake my head in disbelief.
