Tis the Season for Laziness

I’m not sure if I’ve ever shared how much I absolutely LOATHE inflatable lawn things.

It started with Christmas a couple years back. Inflatable Santas and snowmen began to adorn the lawns of suburbanites across America.

It’s gotten ridiculous.

There are now inflatable whatevers for every single psuedo-holiday that Hallmark wants to shove down our throat. To be honest, besides their obvious obnoxiousness, they represent to me just another area where we’ve chosen the easiest route over putting work and thought into something. It just seems lazy to me.

What do you think?

  1. If you don’t like them, then don’t go to the corner of Indian Creek Pkwy and Mur-len. The guy has over 100 penguins. Seems kind of crazy. I would rather see Christmas lights.

  2. I have seen the house Jen is talking about…That house is RIDICULOUS!!! They have those things packed in the yard, front, side and back as well as on the freaking roof! that is a little over the top for me.

  3. i agree with your post – we have a guy in our neighborhood with about 6 and that’s way too much. I think one is OK =, if its in the back yard and can’t be seen from the street and you don’t live near me.

  4. they are a nightmare. The “griswolds” apparently live a few blocks away from us. their house and yard are completely covered with lights and other holiday stuff. they are old school though, only 1 blow-up santa
