Is anyone dressing up their truck for Christmas? This is really a note to myself, to take pics of my truck yelling "Ho Ho Ho!"

I was just thinking about this the other night. Wednesday is going to be in the middle 50's here so me and a buddy of mine or meeting up at the river front with our rides to sit for a spell and swap lies. My 49 is the right color just don't have anything to put in the back to dress it up. Wish I had a blow up of Santa.

I'll just let the pics do the talking ... Last Saturday.
Olezippi -- If you can't think of anything, go support your local choose and cut christmas tree farmer and drive around with a locally grown, fresh tree in the back. Lots of folk will smile and some will want to take a picture. Use the opportunity to ask for donations to your local food bank, Salvation Army, Veterans' home, etc. Just a thought.

Mine picked up the tree from a local tree farm last week. Funny story..... there were probably over 60 vehicles in the packed lot but there were only mabey 5 trucks including mine. 🤔 lots of creative ways people tie down trees to their “SUV’s” or vans. I actually saw one lady tie it to the empty holes in the BOTTOM of her front license plate.....while her husband watched. 😂 welcome to 2020
I made a set of bedrails I only install around Christmas. The driver door logo is RustOleum Peel Coat peelable paint. I decorate the truck and park it in front of the house. I also rent it out to photographers for photo shoots.
The other day we set up our outdoor Christmas tree and figured I would get a more recent picture of the tree with my 1941 Chevy. On her own, my Australian shepherd decided that she needed to model for the shot.
Santa borrows the ‘50 every year from the weekend after Thanksgiving ‘till New Year’s Day. I enjoy having him around but miss driving the truck for 5 weeks!

Saw this 50 on a country road. Super straight sheet metal, flawless paint and bright work. Owner said it's impressive at night with the strings of LED lights.
Taken at our local tree farm a coupla weeks ago. Is it allowed to include human beings in this forum?
