A week ago, the snowman was threatening to fall over in the morning, and by nighttime, was bent forward in a deep side-bend-pilates kind of move. They got him back up again and the penguin went next, he seemed to be leaning way back for a while. Tonight, when I drove home, both Santa &#038; Snowman were flat on their backs and I laughed so hard, I got my camera and went back out. I hope they didn&#8217;t notice the fact a flash was going off, repeatedly, at their front yard, and I thank them for the free therapy.  For I have strong beliefs about how you should decorate for the holidays (I&#8217;m actually abstaining this year), but &#8220;tasteful&#8221; rules &#038; trumps all notions of excess.  Some basics? Pick a theme. A theme of ONE. White lights? Multi-lights? ONE. PICK ONE. You don&#8217;t need to fill every square inch of your lawn, one or two things is sufficient to indicate you are IN THE SPIRIT. That said, I do enjoy driving by insane set-ups, just as long as it&#8217;s not on my street.<\/p>\n<p>So you can imagine how I reacted to THREE inflatables plus neon plus lights plus a flag plus window and door clings. No wonder Santa &#038; Snowman are tired. I get  overwhelmed just lookin&#8217; at &#8217;em. Good thing I don&#8217;t have to blow &#8217;em. Up. UP! Stop it!
