Passed a large yard full of these deflated things. The clerk at the neighboring store told me they all “die” about 10 pm and resurrect about 6 am. Oh the humanity!"
Along with the range of snowmen, Santa, reindeer etc. – there also appears to be dinosaurs (similar to Toy story one) wearing Santa Hats/ carrying presents in their mouth around here
A similar story line was running in Betty last week. Those readers defended inflatables and house lasers, saying that traditional twinkle lights and such were too hard to put up.
I finally saw one I like, it’s a gigantic snowman, must be 10 feet tall, and it’s been fully inflated every time I drive by in the middle of the day. And it is very securely tethered.
One of our next door neighbors since a few years ago sets up a wooden cutout/painted of The Grinch. Their lights come down from the top of the house to him – he is “holding them” and then to a pooling of bulbs on the lawn. I thought it quite smart.
Then I passed another neighbor further away last year – either they have copied my next door neighbor or the design is for sale – then again, this other one lacked the lights coming to the Grinch and onto the lawn.

That looks more like the aftermath of a battle than like decorations.

No, no they are not. They are tacky 24 hours a day.

Sorta looks like a grave yard of balloons. Getting more popular every year.

An inflatable snowman and Santa were laying flat deflated across the street. I told the GF they were hitting the nog a little early.

I saw one that the top is equal to the roofline of a 2-story house. We had 40 mile an hour winds here yesterday in Chicago. Bet that was fun.

Some don’t hold up after a night of partying as well as others, all air, no substance.

Because nothing says Merry Christmas like the sound of your neighbor’s air pumps running 24/7.

What is in the third panel? A sleigh?
R Ball Premium Member 6 months ago
On first glance at the first panel or two, I thought A&J were racing for the bedroom, shedding clothes. My wife thinks my mind’s an Arlo.

ellisaana Premium Member 6 months ago
Hush! They work nights. At least they don’t play bad Christmas tunes when they are asleep.

I recall a short story about some that broke their tethers and drifted out over the Atlantic.

Due to high winds in our area, all inflatables and most large static displays have been grounded.
