Christmas Spirit in Abundance around here

Remember my hillbilly, Obama supporting neighbors who have random dogs roaming the neighborhood and numerous cars in their driveway? They also have huge poofy hair and their car has Obama hubcaps! Where do you find something like that? At least now that it's cold they wear shirts.

Anyway, their neighbors are also hillbillies. So when I look out my bedroom window at night, I see an 8 foot tall blow up, glow in the dark Homer Simpson in a santa suit. I SO want to put a hole in it. Right next to him is a gigantic frosty the snowman. Across the street from them is a big green dinosaur with a santa hat. What is going on?? What happened to lights and a nice wreath on your door?

Well - you know - you could just rub some bacon fat on a lower corner of the Homer and green dino - and let the Hillbillies' dogs take care of the problem for you! ;-)
AND I am only half joking! LOL

Oh my - you do have my sympathies! We have a few neighbours who go over board but most of their stuff is classic - just an over abundance, I can not imagine their Hydro (read electric) bill! They do not leave a square inch of their property undecorated - but the kids love it!

Now THAT'S classy.

You can probably get the Obama hubcaps from the same socialist infomercial channel that sells the Obama USA commemorative coin.

Your hillbilly neighbors are guilty of interesting taste, in both Christmas decor and politicians, but long live the American freedoms to decorate and vote.

(Easy for me to say, I don't have a huge Dinosanta staring me in the face.)

One of our neighbors has giant overstuffed penguins in their front yard (the kind that are flowing air filled and light up). I think they just wanted something nonreligious but still wintery? I don't know.

I'm feeling very lucky to have such tasteful neighbors!
I second the comment that thank goodness it is a nation where someone can put tacky things all over their yard, but I also have the freedom to say "how tacky"!

Brenda said...

well, i'm sorry you feel that way but that's what our yard looks like...

NOT!

well I told Mr. J. that if we ever move West again we're stopping at your house for a visit.....now I'm not so sure. I can handle Homer dressed in a Santa suit, but a dinosaur? That's just retarded.
