We see them coming down the road towards us … vehicles decorated for the Holidays.
Over the last few years, I’ve seen more cars decorated, more than I remember seeing as a kid. I’m not sure if it is just because I’m NOTICING more now, or if, indeed, more people are decorating their mode of transportation. Either way, it’s an easy way to bring the warmth and spirit of one’s home decor with wherever one drives. In many cases, it’ll bring a smile to other motorists, too.
Some, though, scoff at the idea of decorating a car. They say it is too gaudy or too distracting. I suppose that depends on the type of decoration(s)….
I’d guess the most-seen style of decoration is the wreath on the front grill. I’ve also seen cars with strands of those small lights outside and/or inside. I’ve seen icicles hung from the rear view mirror. I’ve seen a brown pickup with a red nose on the grill and “antlers” on the roof.
I’ve even decorated my cars with garland…

So … what decorations have you seen? Do you decorate your vehicle(s)?
