Grandma got run over by an inflatable reindeer

Fighting Jay Lee (none more surly than he) notes the curious recent phenomenon of inflatable Christmas decorations in people's front yards. I find them to be more of an amusement than a heresy, but I can certainly understand why one might find them distasteful. I will say, however, that whatever one thinks of these things, this is a bit of an overreaction. This isn't much better, but at least it's less violent.

Anyway, go enjoy Jay's pictures, which I think he ought to send to the Press for their contest. I may have to do a little drive-around in the neighborhood here, so I can add to his collection. Maybe I'll send mine as well, if I get around to taking them.

I can deal with one on a lawn, but some folks have whole colonies. The fans that keep them inflated can get loud, too. The only one on my block hasn't made an appearance in three years, which is fine by me.

I was just amazed at how many we found when we decided to go looking. And the variety was impressive.
