My bro-in-law, Gary, is a helpful hubby. He currently has three wives. I and Suzanne are wives #2 and #3. I made this T-shirt years ago, to show off how proud I am to be his wife. I earned him because he’s always been handyman at the Delta house, and he’s been mechanic on our various autos. Ties o’ the Day depict Santa and his dear deer pal fishing for fish wearing Santa hats. This could be my hubby, a master fisherman. He owes me some trout. 🐟

Don’t mention anything to my dogs about this, but I occasionally wear clothing covered with cats. Here, Tie o’ the Day shows you its partying Yule kitties. Things like this make my dog-kids jealous. I promise them I’m not in the market for cat-kids. Still, to quell their jealousy, I wear my cat wardrobe mostly when I’m out of the house. Don’t misunderstand me. I kinda like cats. The feral kind especially. I can watch ’em kill mice without having to clean anything up. 🐭 🐱

Ties o’ the Day indicate that my sweet tooth is itching for Christmas candy. I’m craving Mom’s sugary, buttery treats, but peppermint candies will have to suffice. I call peppermint confections Christmas Breaths. People should have Christmas breath all year. Let’s face it, folks: breath mints and deodorant are necessities. They’re part of the social contract that we must fulfill in order to live in peace and tranquility in a civilized society with other beings. In other words, don’t stink around people and ties. 🍬 👃

When your goal is to wear at least three Ties o’ the Day for a month, you have to tie them hither and yon and on any old wherever you can find. A cowboy hat dripping with ties always adds interest to any selfie. If my wearin’ o’ the ties ain’t amusing to me, my wearin’ o’ the ties ain’t amusing to anyone. BTW I wish I had antlers so I could string Christmas lights on them, like our tie deer has done. 🦌

Got my Delta Centennial lapel pin. Got swell black and white clash going on with my jacket and shirt. The clashiness works successfully in clash fashion’s required “works-because-it-doesn’t-work” way. Jacket is off to D.I. tomorrow, as per Suzanne’s orders. Bow Tie o’ the Day depicts icons of the movie, CHRISTMAS VACATION. Check out the moose eggnog glasses, Santa-hatted Clark, the fresh-cut Christmas tree atop the station wagon, a couple of outdoor Christmas light bulbs, and the squirrel. 🐿 🎄 💡

Two children’s clip-on ties add up to two Ties o’ the Day. You know you’re stylin’ when your ties sport reindeer and dogs wearing Santa hats and scarves Suzanne crocheted. Heck, Suzanne probably crocheted the reindeer and dogs too. Quite often, some crocheted lump o’ yarn shows up on the arm of my chair, and I know my orders are to figure out what it is and wear it appropriately. I pretty much always decipher its identity. And it ends up being a groove-a-rama fashion addition!

Along with Charlie Brown Christmas trees, one must have a few A CHRISTMAS STORY leg lamps for decor. Bow Tie o’ the Day and Ties o’ the Day proudly adorn our largest leg lamp. And this tie with the penguins and elves taking selfies makes me reflect on my new adventure of taking selfies for these posts. I’ve always hated having my picture taken, but now that I wear my laugh-lines, life-wrinkles, and saggy face, I quite enjoy it. WTFudge is up with that? 📸

Ties and Bow Ties o’ the Day are jolly! Got Rudolph on my schnoz. Got ELF bow on my forehead. Got balls? Tie and I sure do. And let the tie-party music begin! See, I fit 2 ties and 2 bow ties into one post. Wearing them in stores on Black Friday is a definite hoot. Children circle around me as I make my way through the aisles. I’m the Tied Piper or something. I feel like I’m in Hitchcock’s THE BIRDS. They’re after me!

A few days ago, I posted a pic of my X-mas ties and asked for guesses about how many holiday ties I have left to wear in the next month, excluding bow ties. We had only one guess, and it was from Suzanne. Her guess was 56. I actually have 94 more holiday ties to wear. That’s pretty much 3 per day. I promise to wear all the festive Ties o’ the Day for you to see. Some are purty; some are funny; some are just plain interesting.

Tie o’ the Day is my Thanksgiving tie. Wearing it is a Thanksgiving tradition for me. On this Holiday o’ the Feast, I do not go anywhere without a fork. I’m not referring to just the forks on this tie. I mean that I carry a fork in my back pocket for the entire day. It comes in handy when your happy mission is to eat at least 10,000 calories. Merry Thanksgiving, my pals! 🦃
