every year my mom dresses up as an old woman on halloween,
and pretends she's senile,
and pretends that its Christmas.
its pretty hilarious.
during high school it embarrassed me to the point that i'd be sure to leave the house for the entire night.... so i haven't gotten photos of her until this year. her eighth year doing this thing. she is now famous in our neighborhood and kids travel far to see her. people come back year after year. other moms tell her they wish they could be like her. um hello....! you CAN be like her! just save up candy canes for years and hand them out to kids who you call 'Christmas Carolers". easy.
