AND FUCK TACKY FLASHING, COLORFUL LIGHTS IN THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

C'mon... we all know you're wearing a mistletoe belt buckle. 

Here's all I have pretty much, in one of my windows. Not even the santa has any color. Haha:

No

^^^That's actually really peaceful looking. Can't even make fun of it. Damn you.

Agree on the flashing Xmas lights. Not a fan of those. But multi-color is a must!

What the fuck is a Live laugh Love sign.

A sign that says “Live Laugh Love.”

Oh, it's joked about as tacky/white trash to have signs with pointless platitudes written on them over here. Haha. 

"Carpe diem" and such.

It's the lower back tattoo of things to have on the wall.

It's joked about as tacky/white trash to have signs with pointless platitudes written on them here too. I personally don't connect it to white trash. I more connect it to a more serious problem in society, wherein people are feeling so unbalanced or on the edge of being unhappy, or scared of being unhappy, that they feel the need to advertise these self-affirmation messages as kind of a way to talk themselves into feeling better and letting the world know that they're thinking positively. Like over-compensation. I'm sure that's not true for every single person who does it (let's assume HFD's wife is a normal, lol! Sorry HFD, so not meaning to trash your wife's sign), but that is what they symbolize to me in general.

For some people, like my wife, it's a simple nice thing to look at to lift your spirits.

Yes, indeed, that is why I was careful to mention this doesn't apply to all.

Just a few untimely observations...
@PJ_Soul for the record, french toast is overrated!  It's only around because it's easier than pancakes, which are a go-zillion times better.  

The Live Laugh Love signs were only the first volley in a horrific war.  We call them mixed-font signs, and they are everywhere displaying every possible idiotic platitude in barely legible form.
It's not white trash, just maybe a little low class lol .or poor taste at least.
We know some pretty wealthy people with mixed-font decoration.

I know, just expanding on it. 

I've known despressed people or people I know who feel emotionally inadequate or whatehaveyou, and I've known very happy and content people. The former, in my experience, don't tend to do that. it's the latter group who do. the former, at least in this day and age, tend to be the more impulsive-driven unhappiness maskers, like on social media posting pictures of vacations or posting memes about how good life is. 

but again, my experience.

Yeah, that's true - those facebook self-affirmation memes about living life well and all that other bullshit are the worst culprits for being symbols of unhappiness and insecurity for sure. I HATE those things.

Do Canadians love pancakes or is that just something I saw on a cartoon?

I think that's more cartoon. I think Canadians like pancakes at a very normal level, lol. We do love proper maple syrup for sure, but that doesn't mean we love pancakes to the same extent. Maple syrup is good for many different things.

Canadians really love booze and poutine. That's not a myth, lol.

They look like crepes to me.  Very very thin.
