Bump for this year. Mine is still Rudolph, I'll take a new picture but it never really changes. I finally figured out that the nose looks best anchored to the grille where it rests just on top of the front bumper with the hood closed.

EDIT... just realized that the whole nose location revelation was already had last year (and posted about) - guess I don't learn lessons deep enough not to have to re-learn them

My ex EcoDiesel last winter:





In the few months it was on there salt corroded the wiring on the lights to the point they quit working. I had planned to do something like that again this year, but didn't pre-plan so it ended up not happening.

My wife's got one of those Christmas tree looking air fresheners in there. Maybe I'll decorate it. As far as the wreath, I don't think so. I usually laugh at people who do that.

This is the most tasteful car decorating I've seen. I still wouldn't do it myself, but I don't decorate my house either ... the tree is enough work.

I've never really gotten into the car decorating thing. Doing the house is enough. I don't mind putting the decorations UP. It's taking them DOWN and putting them away that I hate to do.
