Month: November 2017

Two children’s clip-on ties add up to two Ties o’ the Day. You know you’re stylin’ when your ties sport reindeer and dogs wearing Santa hats and scarves Suzanne crocheted. Heck, Suzanne probably crocheted the reindeer and dogs too. Quite often, some crocheted lump o’ yarn shows up on the arm of my chair, and I know my orders are to figure out what it is and wear it appropriately. I pretty much always decipher its identity. And it ends up being a groove-a-rama fashion addition!

Along with Charlie Brown Christmas trees, one must have a few A CHRISTMAS STORY leg lamps for decor. Bow Tie o’ the Day and Ties o’ the Day proudly adorn our largest leg lamp. And this tie with the penguins and elves taking selfies makes me reflect on my new adventure of taking selfies for these posts. I’ve always hated having my picture taken, but now that I wear my laugh-lines, life-wrinkles, and saggy face, I quite enjoy it. WTFudge is up with that? 📸

Ties and Bow Ties o’ the Day are jolly! Got Rudolph on my schnoz. Got ELF bow on my forehead. Got balls? Tie and I sure do. And let the tie-party music begin! See, I fit 2 ties and 2 bow ties into one post. Wearing them in stores on Black Friday is a definite hoot. Children circle around me as I make my way through the aisles. I’m the Tied Piper or something. I feel like I’m in Hitchcock’s THE BIRDS. They’re after me!

A few days ago, I posted a pic of my X-mas ties and asked for guesses about how many holiday ties I have left to wear in the next month, excluding bow ties. We had only one guess, and it was from Suzanne. Her guess was 56. I actually have 94 more holiday ties to wear. That’s pretty much 3 per day. I promise to wear all the festive Ties o’ the Day for you to see. Some are purty; some are funny; some are just plain interesting.

Tie o’ the Day is my Thanksgiving tie. Wearing it is a Thanksgiving tradition for me. On this Holiday o’ the Feast, I do not go anywhere without a fork. I’m not referring to just the forks on this tie. I mean that I carry a fork in my back pocket for the entire day. It comes in handy when your happy mission is to eat at least 10,000 calories. Merry Thanksgiving, my pals! 🦃

You’re not seeing double. These are two Ties o’ the Day in one post. We’ve got snowflakes, and leaping deer, and we’ve got Frosty melting away. Hot chocolate does sound good, doesn’t it? When Mom’s eating at The Rancher, the waitresses don’t even have to ask her what she wants to drink. It’s always hot chocolate. And then I always tell them she wants them to spice it up with a little Bailey’s Irish cream liquor. She then adds, “You bet I do!” ☕️

Our love seat full o’ Ties o’ the Day illustrates a dilemma I’m having. How am I gonna wear and post all these holiday ties by X-mas? One side of the seat holds the twelve holiday ties I’ve already worn. On the other side are the rest. Note that I’m not including any bow ties, just regular ties. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to guess how many holiday ties I still have to wear in the next month or so. 👔 🎄

Invasion o’ the Ho’s! During the holidays, Ho’s are everywhere. Even on Tie o’ the Day. I mean, think about it: every person you run into has at least three Ho’s. I declare that to be a good thing, no matter what anyone might say about it, or how they might judge you. Ho’s enjoy Christmas presents and Christmas parties and Christmas feasts too. Remember to keep your Ho’s close to you, wherever you go and whatever you do this holiday season.

 

Bow Tie o’ the Day aids me in gathering our few X-mas decorations. We aren’t big seasonal decor people. We do have three Charlie Brown X-mas trees. This is the tiniest. Having said we aren’t big on decorating for holidays, I have to admit that at The Pub, I had a window by my table, and I decorated it for every occasion. Especially for the football season. I miss my daily Pub ritual, and I’m still searching for a similar venue here. There’s nothing like the Pub.

Guess what I got for Christmas? Suzanne got me these black/white/silver Ties o’ the Day. Suzanne doesn’t usually buy ties for me, cuz it’s impossible for anyone besides me to know which ties I already own. We went shopping, and she found these ties she liked. She checked with me to see if they were repeats. They were not, so she’s happy. But she won’t let me have them until X-mas. She likes to wrap my presents and have them sit around taunting me. Naughty Suzanne. 🎄 🎁 🤶
