rant of the day, part 2

Today's rant deals with tacky inflatable holiday decorations. On the way home, Thanksgiving evening, we passed a house not too far from our home. In the front yard was an inflatable nativity scene, like the one pictured. Ok, Jesus is the reason for the season, but should he really be blown up? To be honest, I despise all inflatable decorations, and they seem to be getting larger every year. At Lowe's I saw a Santa in a plane with actually moving inflatable propellers. I'm sure as the season moves forward, the nativity scene will be joined by an inflatable snowman, pengiun, and Mickey Mouse with santa cap. Perhaps they will be playing the parts of the three wise men. Happy holidays everyone!
