2008 Trend for Outdoor Holiday Decorations

2008 trends for the holiday season are a flop this year. I have noticed through out my neighborhood the new holiday decorations for 2008, that people put up on their lawns. Not so good this year. The worst one is this inflated, life size, Santa Clause/Snow Man. Intended to look like the photo above. Each night these are on, filling with air to keep standing, BUT when the Santa is turned off, all the air goes out making the Santa go limp and lying "dead" on the lawn. The Snowmen turned off just looks like a melted Snow Man on the lawn.
One of these Santa's are set up on a front porch; so when Santa gets turned off, it looks like he is a passed out, drunken Santa...leaning over the banister of the porch. (photo below). Bad design for the new Christmas Decorations.
Another new decoration this year is a strand of white lights with lit snow flakes dangling down. This looks very nice over an entrance of a house. A few houses in my neighborhood has this up as their outdoor decorations.
We didn't do out door decorations this year, but I do enjoy driving home at night to see everyone else's decorations. Merry Christmas everyone!
