Yes, Santa can simultaneously ride his snowmobile AND motor around in his Yuletide power boat. He’s the ultimate multi-tasking guy, you know.

Actually, this is pretty tame for the BHOI: I’ve blogged before about the many, many inflatable lawn blimps they’ve displayed over the years.

One thing that I notice every time the inflatables come out in this area is how disturbing they look during the daytime. Most people around here don’t keep them inflated and illuminated in the daytime, so that leaves puddles of holiday-color fabric on the suburban lawns – they look oddly festive and corpse-like at the same time.

Tonight it’s a snowy night, so it was a pretty evening for driving around running errands. The houses with the tasteful decorations (and pretty much none of these have inflatables) are nice to look at, and the ones with lawn blimps look their best on a dark, snowy night.

There’s something so lonesome about driving up a quiet street on a snowy night and seeing yard after yard of bright, empty inflatable decorations, though. Brr.
