Last month, one of the truly car-crazy guys here in Toronto posted a picture of his car covered in Christmas lights… before Halloween! Every inch of that car was covered in coloured LED lights, making for a dazzling display. But come on, bro! Christmas in October?
But then the weatherman said it was going to be 21°C and sunny on Tuesday. And suddenly that guy didn’t seem so crazy after all. Why wait for winter to put up the lights on the truck?
Seems that some members of the Demaras family really hated decorating the Christmas truck. While Chris remembers supervising the process while making hot chocolate, young Michelle got stuck with masking tape duties. Daniel long ago gave up on his dad’s creative weirdness.
Hey, at least the truck made it into the newspaper with a cool headline.
This year would be different. Sunshine and T-shirt temperatures made the process a pleasure for Daniel and Chris. Throw in a pepperoni pizza on the tailgate of the GMC Sierra and it was actually kind of nice. A great way to spend an extended lunch hour.
Michelle claimed to have band practice and couldn’t be there to help, and Alice wants nothing to do with this madness. But for the guys, it wasn’t all that bad.
This year, the use of black masking tape made for a much better, cleaner looking install. Can’t wait for nightfall!
