do you put christmas inflatables up....?

[EllieJedi]

No, I never really have been into them since my chocolate Lab used to be terrified of them. She would alter our route when we walked to avoid any house with inflatables in the yard. Now that I only have her sister who doesn’t really care, I still don’t put them up though.

 

[E&Cmom]

No. Not really a fan of them.

 

[nene0182]

We do not. I just have a feeling they’d be covered with snow and it wouldn’t be any fun to go put it away once the holiday is over

We did have two last year up for Halloween. Not this year though. We didn’t decorate the weekend before Halloween like we normally do since we have snow already on the ground here.

No. I think they’re tacky

 

[mrsstats79]

Yes, we have a whole bunch. My favorite is Santa and the bowling alley. I think my father in law would have loved it since he was a great bowler.

I had one I loved until it died. It was a little Christmas mouse, and we'd put it up on the porch by the front door. It wasn't that big, maybe 3 ft tall. The engine burned out a couple of years ago. I'd love to fix or replace it. It was really cute.

I do have some - I’m thinking about a dozen. My favorite is probably the Eagles Santa or a giant gingerbread arch. I also like the little ones (SpongeBob, Minion, Yoda) because they stay put easier.

We usually alternate decorations every year but my daughter said we should put everything out since this is our last Christmas in this house.

There's a house near me that goes a bit crazy with them ...

I took that photo 2 years ago. That yard is maybe 25' x 25', and I think they have at least 40 of them now.

 

[sasywtch]

I do not as I don't care for them. One house has probably 50 in their yard for every holiday. We just do lights across the gutters now. I use to put another tree out front and some window decorations but, I hate undoing all the stuff now.

 

[TCRAIG]

Nope - no inflatables for me - I try to keep my Christmas decor on the classic side - lights, garlands, wreaths and poinsettias…

 

[LoveDaisy]

I do not have any, I prefer a more classic look. There used to be a bunch in my neighborhood but 2 years ago someone drove through with a BB gun and shot them and left a note on everyone’s lawn saying they were tired of how tacky the neighborhood looked. Very few people replaced them

 

[pinkxray]

Yes! I put up Halloween and Christmas inflatables. DD19 added a small minion this year and I added 2 hanging Minnie ghosts but I don’t have a pic yet.

For Christmas I prefer a little more classic look so I do the lighted garland on the porch with red bows and icicle lights. But we also have a 9ft inflatable frosty and a small Santa Mickey with Pluto.

I do have a 6 and 8 year old. They LOVE them. Once they get older I will probably move away from the inflatable because I do hate how they look during the day when deflated. I LOVE my maleficent door covering the most.

The neighborhood kids love the giant Mickey pumpkin and many people stop to take a pic in-front of it while trick or treating.

 

[PollyannaMom]

We don't currently, but years ago we had a Santa that popped in and out of a chimney. DH always set the timer to come on a little early so the kids walking home from school would see it.

 

[MimitoAlex]

No, but I would love to do this:

Hilarious... really laughing out loud.

Right now I have a small one of Mickey dress as count Dracula, I have had it forever, he is on my porch... I have 1 of Mickey and Minnie, dressed in their Christmas best, that I have used for ever as well, I think it might have a small hole or that the motor is going, before New Years last year I noticed that the presents were not filling up all the way, by New Years day they were pretty much kinda flat, they sit on the porch as well they are only about 3 or so feet tall

I decorate my bushes on the front of the house white lights, as well the bushes on our patio again with white lights. I have 2 large lighted deer in the yard, a huge wreath that my DD made for me on the door, Several metal snowmen in the planters, a lighted outdoor Christmas tree in a metal old timey bucket that sit on the porch, and next to it a large 5 foot snowman, like the wooden door greeters. I have 2 Disney themed lights that swirl around on the house and front porch. Plus the poinsettias...

Last year after Christmas picked up some cute small outdoor Christmas themed pillow for the patio. So that will be going out this year.
