Jessie’s recent thoughts on Easter decorations reminded me of, well, the absurdity of giant eggs….
Where would you keep the giant eggs for the other 51 weeks of the year? Not the point I’m trying to make here, but one looks at a picture like that and wonders.
And even though we’re miles away from any other our-property-value-drops-every-time-you-bring-out-the-blowup-decorations holidays, is there really a season for absurdity?
Apparently not like there is for light-up deer. Christmas decorations beware.
Pumpkins, also beware.
On a more, uh, personal note… don’t think St. Patty’s day is exempt from over-the-top– or should we say under the bottom– holiday decoration.
Sometimes I think I should shoot for a humor level somewhat more mature than you generally find in a class of fifth graders. Then I remember that this world contains shamrock decorated toilet paper and I realize that hey, I fit right in here.
Which is why I think this is the best Christmas light display I’ve ever seen….
My second favorite is slightly less ambitious, which is exactly why it’s awesome.
And listen Internet, if tacky and snarky just isn’t your thing I’m not sure if we can be friends anymore.
I’ve always got the house of 1000 Pumpkins to hang out at anyway…

Great stuff. When I lived in the country in Washington State, a local farmer baled his hay in these giant rolls and always had the legs of a mannequin wearing coveralls and boots planted in the center of a roll.
The ditto picture is absolutely brilliant. Kudos for him for spelling that out with lights, that was probably just as difficult as his neighbors house. That deer one is also amazing…some pretty creative people.
