Do you own inflatable Christmas Decoration in this area?

I know this one person has different types but I dont get it in the daytime when the thing is off . They lie Flat.
Looks like garble of plastic trashing the yard.

There was a sheer gravitational pull for option number three.

Last year, about dusk on a dark, windy day. I was driving up a street and saw something that looked liked the Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters coming straight down the middle of the street directly headed for me.

It was a giant, still inflated Snowman that had broken away from its tether.

LOL! that last post was hilarious! We have a house up the street with a giant snowglobe, and it looks ridiculous lying in a heap on the lawn during the day (not that it looks great at night...). Funny poll, Sunny!

You make me want to ride around to watch for blowing inflatables around on a windy day .
If I had one and I wasnt going to inflate in the daytime I would drag them to the side of the house.
Five minutes after reading your post wsobchak Im still laughing at the mental visual I got.
Brian it would all depend if your sweetheart reads what you post

ROFL, literally. My husband thinks I've lost it. Just the visual is hilarious.

I do have one, a four foot reindeer on my front porch in the corner next to my lit up tree. I paid all of $10 after xmas for it cuz I would never waste the $100 and some dollars for those xlarge ones that take up you entire yard. My neighbor down the street has three XL on her front yard and her entire lot is only .19...

We have one. It's not too big or glitzy. Just a simple Christmas character. I put it between the shrubs in the front of my house, so it collapses onto my porch when its powered down.

I do not own one. I am not a fan, but every one has their own opinion.
However, if you drive near Cherry Grove in Mooresville, turn in the entrance furthest to the west and check out the second house on the left. They have to have nearly 20 of them in their yard. It is SOOOO tacky!! I said I'd be calling the HOA if I was their neighbor!

sweet I limk driving around looking at tacky neighborhoods

It doesnt matter if you like inflatables or not or color lights on the tree. It is whoever putting them up decorations that is there choice and there home and there way of enjoying Christmas We should not be passing judgement on the displays

Remember the reason for the season
