Imagine


Driving through the neighborhood, I can't help but notice every home seems to have an inflatable Santa or Snowman or Reindeer just laying down on the grass flat as a pancake. It's kinda sad in a way, but I slow down and imagine, anyway, what they would look like if they were filled with air. "Oooooooh, pretty!" I whisper outloud.

Have you seen the newest inflatable: snowglobe with snowmen/Santa/combo? There are two snowmen that I walk by on my street almost every day that have been flattened by the elements, but someone always pumps them back up. Seems like a lot of trouble for something so tacky. Anyway I have ranted enough....have a great holiday!

Cute, colorful picture. And, yes, from my front porch I can see one neighbor's inflatable snowman and another neighbor's inflatable Scooby Doo. They are always upright and illuminated by night and deflated by morning!

I am getting such a kick out of that illustration. So adorable and funny. The only people on my street who have one of those inflatable monstrosities are the folks I was pretty sure were devil worshippers. They are the most unlikely bunch to have a gigantic snowman in their front yard, but there it is in all its festive glory.

Haha, we used to drive by an inflatable Grinch last year and we watched as it slowly deflated. It was kind of sad. Nice illo!

There is a snowman we always point out to our daughter because she loves them and we love to hear her giggle as she says "noman". It was really sad to drive by the other day and see him reduced to a plastic puddle.
