Lawn Decorations Under Attack From Consumer Groups
Posted by admin under: Main Dec 21
This Christmas season, there’s a backlash brewing against over-the-top holiday displays. With community associations ramping up holiday decorating contests and manufacturers pitching an increasing variety of yard decor some homeowners and cities have had enough.
Disgruntled neighbors complain of everything from traffic to wasted electricity. In some locales, people called for the city to crack down on loud music or decorations that linger after holidays. Police in some areas of the country even report that the growing number of blow-up Santas adorning people’s yards are targets for stabbing and other forms of violent deflation.
Police in some areas are also saying that the large inflatables — which can range from 4 to 12 feet tall — are attracting the attention of vandals who like to poke holes in them and deflate them.
