Christmas decorations at my house take five minutes to put up. Outside: plug in the robot reindeer on the porch, put the wreath on the mailbox. Inside: put the non-robot reindeer by the window, hang the tree. Last year it looked like this. (For a moment, anyway.)
This year the inside is just too cluttered for me to pull off last year’s deception, when I tidied things up for just for the photo. The clutter has won.
So, I got creative. The one non-robot reindeer is now perched over the stairwell, standing on the leaf of my dining table that just happens to fit the span of the basement steps.
He likes it. I like it. He peeks at me from his platform like a go-go dancer.
He might not look as good with the tree hung in front of him, or perhaps he’ll look even more festive.

The fact that you have robot reindeer and non-robot reindeer is deeply enjoyable.
Allison – I don’t know what I will do when the robots short out or turn on us or whatever robots do when they expire.
