Folks, Im totally failing in this years War on Christmas.
My original plan was to buy an inflatable sleigh and reindeer, and arrange them so it looks like Santa crashed into the side of my house. That one had to be changed because all the Santa sleighs in the stores are one-piece affairs, and to make this work Ive got to be able to separate the reindeer and Santa from the sled so I can scatter them all over the yard. They also dont sell inflatable polar bears, at least not ones that look menacing like
well, you know, real polar bears. I mean, I guess I could put a real polar bear in the front yard but feeding one will break the food budget for the next five years and then theres the problem of giving it back after the season ends. (On the other hand, it would definitely solve the deer infestation were currently facing
)
So
my next thought was just to stick Scrooge in the front yard and print a bunch of signs like are there no workhouses? and Bah Humbug! on some of that scrap coroplast Ive got sitting around, but to do that I need a Scrooge and you cant get those either.

House belonged to the neighborhood crank. We were living on a cul de sac and there were no small kids around, so I guess he thought it would be okay to let his freak out for Xmas.
