Nomination: Most Absurd Seasonal Lawn Decoration

[hrj]

This is the time when I wish I had a digital camera so I could make my nomination in proper form. But visualize if you will:

The scene is Maine. Snowy Maine. Glistening white diamonds cover the yards in a blanket. A light dusting of flakes is drifting down out of the sky. And there on the lawn is a six-foot-high inflatable plastic snow globe, containing a four-foot-high inflatable plastic snowman, with a fan-blower constantly recirculating a swirl of styrofoam "snow".

In Maine. In winter. Sitting on top of a snowbank. With snow coming down.

The worst is when they turn off the air and this deflated...thing is left lying on their lawn. I live in Somerville, MA; I've got at least three crazy decorated place on my street, one which features an air-powered giant teddy bear.

New England is weird. And I say that as a native Californian.
