Fun With Inflatables

As promised, here is the winter wonderland display of huge inflatable, lighted: 1) reindeer; 2) toy soldiers; 3) snowmen; 4) trees; 5) grinches; 6) Santa Clauses; and 7) leftover witches from Halloween, which were banned in some areas. What the Cat in the Hat has to do with any holiday is beyond me or stored deep under the Dr. Seuss trivia in my brain, but he is there, also, hiding in back somewhere. There is one grinch in his grinchy Santa suit up on the rooftop with some reindeer, but no dog, out of view. And Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and that little bear, whose name I can't recall and who is obviously Winnie's bastard child, although Winnie would never admit to that unless confronted by Connie Chung's husband, whose name I can't fucking remember, either, but who does DNA paternity testing, guard the entrance to the house. We would perhaps need a fiber expert to determine paternity, however, come to think of it.

I had to take the pictures during the daytime because at night, the place is brighter than 10,000 suns with all the lights, and I couldn’t get close enough to snap a meaningful photo. And I don't know an f-stop from ASA, which is a problem.

I think they have group therapy for this sort of holiday affliction. Maybe you could go with my next door neighbor, whom we affectionately call "psycho decorator" this time of year.

I hope you bought all those at after Christmas sales, too.

On the other hand, y'all make some KICK ASS Cashew Brittle- THANK YOU!!!

Just a minute. I have to stop laughing long enough to think of a comment here.
Maury. Maury Povitch. That's who you'd see about the paternity of Winnie's bastard kid. And I'm not proud I know his name, either.

Fortunately for us we do not see that in this country because they would not last 5 minutes - here one moment, stolen the next *lol*.

Do ferrets like to nibble on power cords?

No reason.

That's HYSTERICAL!!!!! OMFG! I especially love all the damn reindeer. Can't buy just one of those adorable little bastards. Gotta have a whole herd to fill the yard with!

I wanna know why the leftover witches are still there, however. That's my question of the day. And who the heck is Winnie's bastard child? Someone tell me that? I even remembered Maury's name, sadly enough. Me. The girl who hasn't had a television in how many years but I could still remember Maury.

I love Mark's idea. Santa, I think you should definitely buy him that particular gift for Christmas. LOL!
