They are not that ugly. People in this area are so uptight. The person in Candy Cane Lane with the 2nd best house used them and they looked great. They are cute, kids love them, and they are much cheaper than other decorations. This is a DC area issue. No one else cares that much about deflated lawn ornaments for a couple of weeks a year during the daytime. You sound like a bored housewife. Yes they are on the same timer as the lights. Maybe your neighbors are as dim as you.

Because no one is around during the day to see it, because it uses electricity, and because I don't care what you think.

I love it when they are laying limp all over each other like a postcoital orgy. I take a lot of photos on my neighbourhood walks- of all the lawn inflatables limply endeavouring to pleasure each other in broad daylight.

I've gotten DH into taking photos of them too and I might make a Shutterfly album some day.

I’m afraid this is all I’m going to think about when I see them now.

Me too. Hilarious.

I have a box of lights if you want to put them up.
