Thinking About Clark Griswold

This house in a nearby neighborhood outdoes itself every year. It has every inflatable, mechanical inflatable and pre-lit decoration imaginable. Ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds, snow globes, a mechanical jack-in-the-boss with penguins, teeter totter, Pooh, Rudolph, Grinch, you name it, this house has got it. Oh! And Santa’s airplane. I wonder who is pushing this… the husband or the wife. It almost seems like a compulsion. Can you imagine driving around to look at Christmas lights with these folks? You know they’re freaking out when they see an inflatable in someone’s yard that they don’t have and plotting how to find one for their theme park. But, like every year, I appreciate their spirit. They’re obviously happy people and excited about the season. And the neighborhood kids must love it. I wonder if there’s an inflatable nativity? I know that sounds random, but I just had a mental image of a mechanical inflatable nativity and it’s making me laugh.
