The world most definately doesn't need 6-foot high inflatable Christmas lawn ornaments. You don't need a six-foot tall snowman on your lawn. You don't need a six-foot santa claus on your lawn. You don't need four six-foot reindeer on your lawn. You don't need a four-foot tall, droopy, under-inflated tigger in a red hat on your lawn.

Today, I heard about a service that will do all of your holiday decorating for you . They'll put it up, they'll take it down. What's the point? Is the point that your house looks pretty, or is the point that you do something yourself, do something as a family to get into the spirit?

We took a mini tour of our neighborhood this evening and I can almost appreciate the tackiness this time of year. I think the point varies from neighborhood to neighborhood, but there is sometimes a competative spirit to it, and hiring a contractor could be seen as "cheating"

Then there's the half-baked thing G put on our lawn, made from an old letal deer ornament frame and some uber-blinky colored lights. um... hope the neighbors don't have us arrested!

oops, that's "metal" not "letal"

Agreed.

Of course you need a six-foot snowman on your lawn. But it needs to be made OUT OF SNOW.

Completely acceptable.

Near the ML/Sharples tunnel, there's a house with huge inflatable lawn ornaments. Most of them are pretty bad, but the worst one is a giant inflatable snowman family ... inside a fake plastic inflatable snow globe ... with fake snow billowing through the inside of the fake snow globe. All of this is outside. In the real snow.

BUILD A GODDAMN SNOWMAN

I agree that the snowglobes are the worst idea yet... which means they are all over our neighborhood.
