Blown up Monstrosities

I'd like to preface this post with an apology, to any who may have, in a moment of weakness, purchased said blow up frostys, santas, snowglobes, rudolphs etc. It is your prerogative to decorate your home as you wish for the holidays. I merely submit the following editorial for your humble consideration...all in fun

These things are the silliest things I've ever seen. I don't think I'll ever understand why a person would choose to purchase a giant marshmallow like balloon that has to be tied down in their front yard as a beacon of suburban ridiculosity.

I just drove through my hood, where I was alarmed to discover this year’s first over eager decorator has already set up his (clark griswald, that's all I can say, i guess it could be a she...) display. I think to myself...what could make you think "Hey a giant inflatable snowman, that's just what I need, oh and that snowglobe, look how cute that is and santa and AWESOME reindeer too, I wonder if I get all eight in the front yard."

So, this is my conclusion...The variety of thirty-something’s living in my starter home hood grew up watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, these people secretly wished they could be one of those people that hold on to the giant Snoopy and Scooby. It was their lifelong dream to one day walk down 5th Avenue proudly helping Big Bird on his annual walk about town.

As they grew into adulthood, they found there were no “Official holder of Big Bird’s Foot” degrees to be had and that unfortunately their dream would never come true. So, now they’re living out their dream, here in my hood, in a smaller yet still satisfying way...by staking out their yard for a solid 2 months with smaller versions of the giant balloons they loved.

I don't believe there could be any other logical conclusion to come to...this is my hypothesis. I hereby declare it to be true, feel free to share your thoughts on these creatures in anonymity with the following highly scientific evaluation instrument: "Blog Poll 2"
