Favorite Christmas decorations this year?

This one's mine:

I guess once upon a time there was a house there. Nothing left but an old chimney in the middle of the woods. Someone decided to make it fit the season.  😊

My only decoration, unless you count the leg lamp that's 365/year.

I didn't get a chance to grab a picture, but a house near my father-in-law's has a "Here lies Ebenezer Scrooge" headstone with a tiny wooden crutch propped up against it.

This is the first year I have seen folks making Die Hard ornaments, and I really like them

I need to get pictures of my managers house. They put up something like 30k lights. 

But I'm lazy, he and his husband live like 110 miles away.

there were more packages delivered to the 'Yes' side than the 'No' side of the mat

Seeing them taken down.

This year, my wife got me this from Etsy.

That is a Sherman's Sentinal.  Reminder of the Northern Aggresion.  That one is cool.

she's a keeper

Locally, anyway, there seemed to be a real falloff in public and commercial decorations this year. Like, I seem to recall shopping centers and businesses throwing some festive baubles or colored lights around some light poles in the parking lot, or a lighted wreath on the front of a building or whatnot. it was a nice few weeks of some visual variety. But '24 was pretty quiet, comparitively. There's a lot of construction and renovation of commercial properties around here, so instead of twinkling red and green lights we got a lot of flashing orange lights from Bob and his Barricades, so that's something I guess.

JG, drive by our house tonight.

New for this year: a blow-up dog wearing a Santa hat.

Maybe, but I'm about 100 miles off of Sherman's route.  And I'd guess it to be less than 100 years old.

I suspect it's more likely to be a dumbass "Hold my beer" event...

From my wife.

That’s love right there.

Every year, my wife buys me that year’s Hot Wheels ornament.
