Not really, no, but I'm pretty picky about Christmas decorations period (all holiday decorations, really).

I don't like them. I will admit when out driving around to see lights sometimes they seem kind of fun. But what I really hate is during the day when they are all deflated on lawns. Looks terrible!!!

I think they look kind of tacky. There is a house in our neighborhood that has about 20 inflatables on their lawn!

No.
When passing by I always have a great urge to tackle them, but I haven't acted on it... yet.

I hate them! My dog always barks at them too, which makes me laugh (I quietly tell him that he has better taste than the neighbors
@dojo: I especially hate when they are sad and deflated on the lawn. It looks like a bunch of garbage bags.

No I think they are tacky. Sometimes cute but they are just to big and bulky. They junk up the yard.

I am not a huge fan, but we have a Mickey Mouse in our yard right now! Special request from my DD and we obliged!

I think they're adorable, but I don't want one on my lawn if that makes sense?

@Foodnerd81: my dog is scared s***less of them! And I'm not a fan, either...

Not a fan. My BIL hates them...he says people can never just have one, they have to have like 5 obnoxious ones in their yard and it drives him crazy. DH really wanted to buy one for his brother as a joke...I told him I would totally do it if they weren't more than $50.
A neighbor has a Santa in a Hawaiian shirt/grass skirt (found it: http://www.yardinflatables.com/Santa-Dancing-the-Hula_p_1232.html)...if we were buying my BIL one it would be that one since it totally embodies obnoxious inflatable decorations.

I like the snowmen. I think they're kind of cute. I don't see them that much here in the city, but they always make me laugh when they're deflated during the day. I think they're much like any decorations, when you see a house that's gone crazy with them it can look bad. In my neighborhood there's a house that has a small snowman and a few houses down is a house with about 500 white fake clay sculptures depicting the manger scene and it looks horrible.

I used to think they were tacky. And then I had a kid. We got a pumpkin for Halloween and my LO (and all the little kids who came trick or treating) loved it! I can handle a little tackiness if it makes my girl happy.

They may not be my taste, but I don't find them offensive. I'm willing to bet they're put up by families with small kids that get a kick out of them, blowing in the wind.

No, I've always disliked them. My husband LOVES them, haha. Between him and LO I'm sure we'll end up with one. I won't mind as much if LO likes it.

@locavore_mama: so does a house in my 'hood, but only on Sundays.
I think they're hilarious. My son loves them.

I think they're great for the kids!! One of our neighbors has a Charlie Brown merry go round one that cracks me up. I wouldn't do them, though because I don't like the dead ones during the day.
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
@looch: haha apparently you and I are the only two who like them.

I don't mind them and never really thought twice about them. My daughter requested Minnie Mouse though and her favorite time of day is when we plug her in. She loves it! So now I love it.

i don't mind them, but we'll probably never have them!

I like them, especially if they're lit up. Someone has a family of snowmen on their lawn right now and they're fun.

Not a fan!
There is only one instance where I like them a little. My old route to work, there was a house that would put one blow up for every holiday, so that was fun. They had one for lots of holidays - valentine's, St Patricks, Easter, Memorial/Labor Day, etc.

@prettylizy: I'm the same way! I like looking at them in other people's yards, but I don't want my own.
My parents had one while I was growing up (a plain snowman) and it was set up right outside my bedroom window. Dad always forgot to turn it off before he went to bed, so I'd wake up in the middle of the night to a creepy glowing snowman... haha

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Our neighbours just got this massive snow globe looking one with three on motorcycles spinning around inside it!
It's huge and so, so awful! We are the 5th house on our street, houses 1, 2 and 3 have beautiful lights, us too (biased, ours are best, lol) then the 4th house just threw down this snow globe of inflatable motorcyclists to keep up.....so tacky.
