Yesterday I found myself at the hardware store and they were already pulling the Christmas displays out of the back. As I made my way through the store, I saw that it was more than just Christmas displays, it was the inflatables! That’s the best part of the holidays; those large inflatable lawn decorations in the form of reindeer, Santa and snowmen that everyone has in their front yards now days!
When I was growing up, my favorite part of the holiday season was the day I got to help my dad put up our inflatable lawn decorations. We had a Santa and a Frosty the Snowman. As I recall they had a sturdy cardboard base which housed a fan motor which forced air into the inflatable and there was a 60 watt light bulb inside the decoration to light it up. I remember that fan being pretty loud really. Nowadays the fans are much quieter and the incandescent bulbs have been replaced with LEDs. Much nicer.
If your neighborhood is anything like mine
Look how happy this neighbor is next to his inflatable snow globe.
I usually have two or three of them all going at the same time, their air pumps quietly whirring in the background as trick-or-treaters arrive or the first snow begins to fall. (Yeah right. Who am I kidding? I live in Las Vegas but if there was snow…) Just as tinsel
I have seen them becoming more popular at Halloween time. Some of the neighbors have inflatable lawn decorations in the shape of pumpkins. I think I am going to get the scary black cat
What about you? Do you have any inflatable lawn decorations that you put up in your yard during the holiday seasons? If you do, then I commend you and send you a virtual pat on the back and a glass of eggnog for making your neighbors, people driving by and children of all ages smile and feel that holiday spirit.
Now if you will excuse me I am going to log into Amazon

It is funny you said you were looking for a R2-D2 inflatable lawn decoration and the other day I saw someone displaying a “Jabba The Hutt” from star-wars as well and I was like why? haha,
You know “Jabba The Hutt”, it is that worm looking thing.
I know these decorations are pretty cool and creative ideas to decorate the yard but I really don’t understand what these characters got anything to do with the Holiday season, or is it just a sarcastic way to make fun of believers?

It’s just all in fun. When we get down to it we can say, “What does Santa Claus have to do with Christmas?”

I like seeing them when I walk the neighborhood because it gives me picture taking opportunities. As for having one in my yard… nope, ain’t happening. I spend most of my time trying to make people think the house is empty. lol

This a wonderful idea. After the holidays one can always deflate them and store them somewhere and wait for the next festive season. Thanks for sharing this.
Exactly. We had ours for years.

Do you have a favorite? Do you see them in your neighborhood at times other than the December holidays such as Christmas?

These are good decorations, but they do not fit to decorate a yard IMO. They would be good in children areas or at fairs, but as yard decoration they look poor…
its very good ideas , i will use it on my lawn
we need a lot of article about home decorations
