We all know that one person with a penchant for displaying inspirational signage all over their homes — whether it’s artfully framed declarations like “Live Laugh Love” or “Dance Like Nobody’s Watching.” For that person, an adorned sign isn’t just decor — it’s a vibe, it’s a lifestyle. In Single All the Way, that person is Carole (Kathy Najimy). Carole plays the well-meaning mom who desperately wants her only son, Peter (Michael Urie), to meet that special someone.

Aside from being a little too invested in her son’s love life, Carole — or “Christmas Carole,” as she insists on being called throughout December — is very, very into inspirational sign-making. (See: the “Sleigh Queen” greeting sign she uses to welcome Peter home and her “Today is the best day” message in the kitchen, both of which, like all her signs, are made in her very own craft room.)

Throughout the film, Carole’s signs adorn every room in the family home, with at least two homemade inspirational frames per room. Here’s the definitive ranking of Christmas Carole’s signs in Single All the Way — from clever to absolutely corny.

17. “Sleigh Queen”

As the very first sign in the entire movie, “Sleigh Queen” really sets the tone. Carole carries this giant sign to welcome Nick and Peter home for Christmas, and she never really tops it. It’s the perfect blend of corny and sweet, and it makes clear right off the bat that Carole loves her son and supports him.

16. “He’s Making A List And Checking It Twice Only X Days To Prove You Are Nice”

Christmas Carole's homemade advent calendar is honestly brilliant. Each day, a grandchild gets to change the number of days until Christmas, making it both festive and interactive.

15. “I’m not BOSSY I just KNOW what you SHOULD be doing.”

In case you were wondering who is in charge of this household, it’s Carole, and this sign proves it. Not only does this message tell you who’s boss, it also appears twice in the movie: once in the living room and again in Peter’s room.

14. “Christmas Carole”

After spending the week with Peter’s family, Nick gets Carole her very own sign for Christmas, and it’s just so thoughtful and sweet that it can’t be corny — it’s pure goodness.

13. “Let’s all take a moment and be thankful that spiders don’t fly.”

Carole makes this sign for her eldest daughter, Lisa (Jennifer Robertson), and it is so glorious in its randomness. What encourages more gratitude in this world than the fact that spiders don’t fly? It’s so unexpected, and it does the trick.

12. “My dream profession would be driving the KARMA BUS” & “Relax we’re all crazy IT’S NOT A COMPETITION”

These two signs appear on the wall by the staircase, and what’s nice about them is they’re not preaching anything other than a desire for, well, revenge, and an acceptance of the fact that we can all be a little “crazy” sometimes. Inspirational signs don’t always have to be about dancing or living life to the fullest — sometimes they are just about living your truth.

11. “TEA”

The sign for “Tea” hangs in what looks like Carole’s craft room. There is no reason for this sign to be hanging here, which is why it’s so amusing. You would think that “Tea” would be found in the kitchen, or wherever Carole’s tea might be kept and/or made, but you’d be wrong. Tea is reserved for the craft room, which one can take to mean that this is where Carole comes to “spill the tea” (aka gossip about her son’s love life). This sign’s unpredictability makes it a true winner.

10. “You want breakfast in bed? TOO BAD I’M STILL ASLEEP!”

Another sign with questionable placement, this one appears to be in either Peter’s room or in the guest bedroom, but it’s fun because it both encourages guests to make themselves at home and/or not feel bad for sleeping in.

9. “Don’t grow up HAVE FUN FOREVER” & “What I Love Most About This Place Is You”

These two signs appear in the dining room, which could mean that Carole is a big fan of throwing dinner parties — and likes her guests to feel both uninhibited and special. Granted, “What I love most about this place is you,” is getting close to being overly sentimental, but the lack of flowery language makes it just corny enough.

8. “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”

Among the more mundane signs around Carole’s house, “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” is a small, colorful sign right in the foyer. It’s definitely one of the least inventive of the bunch.

7. “Today is the best day”

Placed right in the kitchen, this reminder to have a good day is also, sadly, not super original. Therefore, we rank it “medium corny.”

6. “What Happens At Grandma’s House Stays At Grandma’s House”

“What Happens At Grandma’s House Stays At Grandma’s House” would be cringe-worthy if it wasn’t so true. And it gets a bump from the signs above it, which read “Always Be Kind To Yourself” and “Walk the Sunshine” — three messages that absolutely do not go together, but somehow make sense.

5. “Bloom Where You Are Planted”

Here’s another of the more cliched signs. The only reason this one isn’t lower on the corny list is because Carole made it for Peter, who loves plants, so it’s actually perfect for him.

4. “Good Vibes”

Displayed on a side table in the living room, this small, simple sign isn’t overly sentimental, and that makes up for its lack of originality, landing this one squarely in the middle of the list.

3. “Coffee Pairs Nicely With Silence”

Carole gives this one to Lisa’s husband for Christmas, presumably because he enjoys silence while Lisa loves to talk, but we can’t be sure. A+ for trolling her daughter, but C for originality.

2. “No Selfies In The Bathroom”

This sign seems to be either a gift that Daniella (Madison Brydges) gives to Carole, or that Carole gives to her granddaughter. If it’s the first, then it’s kind of sweet that Daniella would be honoring her grandmother’s rules. If it’s the latter, that would definitely be another eye-rolling reminder.

1. “The Most Precious Jewels I Have Around My Neck Are The Arms Of My Children”

Of all the signs in Carole’s home, this one is by far the corniest. Comparing the “arms of children” to “jewels” and necklaces is just too cutesy for comfort. Carole can do better!
