Tacky Holiday Decorations
Geez, there are 3, count them 3 inflatable snowmen on my block. Oh and there is the snowglobe with snowman inside (uh, the real ones are more interesting) and the carousel with caroling children blaring all night. Isn’t this a bit much? I already have a problem with the millions of extra lights we put up in the name of the holidays. I mean we’re supposed to be conserving the earth’s resources right? But no, all of that goes out the window at this time of year. And these tacky inflatable jobs are really bordering on blight.
I know we do it for the kids, but really what are we “teaching” them? That the biggest and flashiest way to celebrate the holidays are with motorized plastic inflatable eyesores? I am not the ranting type, but this is really too much. It’s like the God of tacky threw up on our town. Then again, perhaps I’m just being a hypocrite. I do have a (murdered) tree decorated for the holidays in my living room.

Cripes, those things are getting on my nerves too. Some folks around my place have two or three of them lined up in their front yards. Overkill!
The giant snowball did look neat the other day though with real snow falling on/around it as well! :P
