Some old bat was on the news this week about hers. Somebody STOLE all of her Christmas shit in the front yard. And her inflatable snow globe was in tribute to
her dead son, and grandkids. It seems they all burned in some house fire. Guess an inflatable snow globe was a smarter purchase than say, smoke detectors.
She was white trash personified. It was glorious. |

I love all the news stories about people vandalizing/stealing these things. Putting this shit in your yard is the very definition of asking for it.

Emma, it is nice to have traditions, isn't it?
I love all those giant tacky things because kids love them. My nieces would KILL to make those milk jug lights. |

I love tacky. The tackier the better. I always think that the people who live in those houses must be pretty happy.

I don't know, Zip. The guy down the street could give Chevy a real run for his money, and he's a very mean old man.
We usually decorate, but we just don't have the gumption this year. The tree looks nice, however. Plus, with electrical rates, who can afford it? |

WTF would people feel the need to put that many of them out in their yard? One is bad enough but 5 of them?

Yesterday I saw my first rooftop snowglobe. Well, it was the front porch roof...but, dammit, it doesn't belong there!

Oh dear, we were JUST hit by the BeeBee Bandit/Drunk Girls who murdered out big inflated Santa in the front yard. We hard a big noise, and hubbie looked out
and saw
laughing kids jumping in a car and speeding away. After checking the front yard, dear Santa was dead. And hubbie was sure that gunplay was involved. Called 311, who sent us to 911. Two cops showed up immediately and were all over it. Apparently, Rudolph and Baby Jesus were murdered just blocks away last week. They told us that a neighbor saw 2 drunk girls running up and jumping on other inflatables in the neighborhood, murdering them. I imagine that's what happened to Santa, not death by bullets. The cops just wanted to chat in the front yard for hours....I finally unstaked Santa and wished them on their way. I had to bite the inside of my mouth to keep from refering Reno 911. The 4 year old is going to be so sad in the morning if Daddy doesn't get Santa's limp carcass out of the kitchen pronto.

my neighbour has the inflatable santa carousel, but the plastic has turn opaque so you can't see in it anymore, you just see the vague shapes shambling
inside - my kid calls it the gas chamber.

Our next door neighbors have an inflatable Santa that pops up and down from an inflatable box, with an inflatable Rudolph standing on his hind legs next to it.
It got beaten down flat in the snowstorm we had last week. Heh. |

^Oh that's just whacked.
Please give that money to the homeless. It's the only thing that will save your soul. |

I have a neighbor yard that is OTT and tacky. It's just the plastic snow globe ones that look bad, those other inflatables look okay (nylon ones). The
neighbor's carousel one is all hazy with age and looks awful.
There are really very few houses even using outside lights at all here this year. |
