She put up about a dozen of those inflatable snowmen, santas, and whatnot and completely covered her front yard. for all to see.

They've been up a week already.

Not me, but there are others in my neighborhood that know who they are. I'm expecting an entire herd spread through the neighborhood before the month is over. Last year it looked like enough to cause a blackout. It truly is no wonder we had *actual* deer strolling down the street the other night. They felt like they belonged!
