Nothing rings in the holiday season more than sitting by the fire, singing Christmas carols … while complete strangers hang the lights on the tree and drag plastic Santa out of the garage and onto the roof.
In order to help Americans get as little exercise as humanly possible, a company called Christmas Decor Inc. will now deck all the halls you might have.
While the company acknowledges that as the weather gets a little cooler, “home and business owners will soon begin lugging out the ornaments to adorn their properties with holiday decorations that bring the season alive,” they largely advise against such sweaty lugging.
Sure, it might seem fun to spend some time with the kids setting up the family menorah or hanging the garland on the tree, the company warns that ”the work that leads up to the final result can be time consuming and stressful.”
But will they be able to make Dad’s eggnog recipe?
