Have a Happy, Tacky Christmas

Santa Homer
Santa Homer

This is my husband's favorite Christmas decoration. One year I tried "forgetting" to display it. No luck. My husband found it. Homer sings "Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly" among other tunes. And he uh...dances. He also says many phrases like "Mmm eggnog" and "There's only one fat guy who brings presents and his name is Santa."

This year, I thought Homer had finally died. His voice sounded great, but he no longer danced. My husband sprayed Homer's joints with LPS lubricant and Homer got his groove back. Darn it.

Do you have a favorite Christmas decoration?
