ROUTE 66 STORY

 

I've written a couple more sections, #s 22 & 23:

http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/12/09/_thats-the-highway_-14/

 

Entire story here:

HOLIDAY DECOR

 

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

 

More (+ pics) here:

http://www.motorgnomes.com/2011/12/decorating-vehicles/

 

 

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 find a nice layer of road salt hides all the scratches

Heh ... this IS true.  Still ... I don't like road salt.  I LOVE snow, but I hate salt and cold temperatures.  How's that???

 

I'm not too keen on the reindeer look either ... HOWEVER, it depends on the type of vehicle and how it's done.  I've seen some very cool ones.....
