Perhaps the greatest thing about owning a home is - in my opinion - getting to decorate it during the holidays.
I mean, think about it, in this day in age, if you want to paint a rock in your front yard, you have to get a permit from your town, but when it comes to Christmas decorations, you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want.
That being said, too many liberties have been taken in this department, the biggest culprit is this new wave of inflatable decorations.
I have to say, a few years ago, they were cute. You had a Rudolph one, a Santa one, a Homer Simpson. That was fine. Now you have snow globes that acutally snow. I'm waiting to see the inflatable Baby Jesus on someone's lawn soon.
I myself, hate the inflatables for two reasons.
1. They look like sh-t when not inflated. Listen, I have enough ugly looking mounds of crap on my front yard without me having to pay $49.99 to put another one out there.
2. This new wave of inflatables have, for some reason, made the classic light up plastic decorations obsolete. I mean, go into any store these days and try to find a plastic snowman, or santa, or wooden soldier. They are nowhere to be found. What the f-ck is that? I mean, the white-trash looking icicles are bad enough. But no more plastic snowman. Unf-ckingreal.
So, if you are driving around central jersey, and see a house with no icicles, no inflatable crap and 4 - count em - 4 plastic snowmen on the yard. That's my hut.
The only inflatable I'll be investing is something to keep me company on a cold winter night. (HEY NOW). Or this one.
By the way, Jerseygirl. Check this one out.

Holy crap! That is a fabulous find, and I'll be sure to tell my neighbors who to thank for pointing it out to me.
Although, admittedly, I'm not much on the inflatables either.
Anything I can do to help. You know at $19.99 each, how about 6 Buckeys beating the crap out of 1 inflatable Wolverine.
By the way, we may have to make a wager on what looks like will be a ND-OSU Fiesta Bowl.
We don't need to buy $19.99 inflatable Buckeyes to beat the crap out of the Wolverines, as it keeps happening for real these days. Back in the Cooper era, I might have considered it.
My policy is to never bet on OSU games, but if we just bet tastes, I could allow it.
To be honest with you, I am waiting for the inflatable Hanukkah Harry to hit the market. I'm sure that's going to be a huge seller for my religious group...we're big on decorating during the holidays.
Nice work with the blogs. I'm highly entertained.
