ItsMeBobO Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Last year I hung a Ditto sign in my neighbors yard. They loved it and the guests commented on it a lot. Now my neighbors on the other side are asking what they can have to participate in the fun? They do hang some white lights in the bushes for a few days. But this 'something' would most likely be a prop that I purchase and hang for them just like I do the ditto sign. I am drawing a blank on what it could be. Ideas anyone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am guessing they wont like the implication they are inept. They need something which implies "why would anyone go through so much trouble" because they are satisfied with four white bushes. My just thought of crude concept is a big word JOY and under it something like " is not having to hang all that stuff ->" But I don't even like my own idea which is too wordy. Can't compete Why bother to compete Resistance is futile Too much work to compete There is JOY in not trying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMeBobO Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) My wife likes this one. A plain flat sign with no attached lights. Just a spot pointing at it so people can see.

How about "JOY is simplicity" which falls under your idea. "He borrowed my extension cords" with an arrow to your house, funny, but that's wordy too. "White lights matter" but that's not very politically correct. "Sorry we're normal" "Over-achiever" with an arrow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
