When Jennifer asked me if I'd seen the Christmas Zebra I thought she'd been hitting the egg nog a little too hard.
Then she sent in these photos as Sarabeth's entry for Kerry Blog Ugly Christmas Lawn Decor Contest.
It appears this homeowner has purchased every inflatable thing in existence. We have the snowperson family, penguin merry-go-round, and my favorite — the mythical Christmas Zebra.
Yes, kids, it's the Christmas Zebra. I'm surprised there isn't a sunbeam shining down from the heavens on the mythical Christmas Zebra. He IS what this season is all about, after all. As you know, nothing says Christmas like a sweater-wearing striped equid. Some people will try to tell you zebras are Jewish and therefore do not celebrate Christmas, but here we have proof! Next year I'm only decorating with zebras. And unicorns because they love Christmas. Notice Santa's at the door as well as caroling by the windows. The ferris wheel is something else. What, I don't know. There is a carnival theme, but not quite.
Of course, the scene wouldn't be complete without the house band from the North Pole bar. It's the Icee Polar Bear, a penguin, and what appears to be a blind antler-wearing well-endowed kangaroo. That ain't no reindeer, peeps. Reindeer have more self-respect than this punk. I'm not sure what that is behind him, looks like he killed Santa and attempted to hide the body. Never trust a masked kangaroo in antlers, they're trouble.
Send in photos of the tackiest yard in your 'hood to kerrybee7@yahoo.com and the winner will receive a $25 Starbucks giftcard. The tackiest entry will be announced on Christmas Eve!

Hmmmmmm…Quite disturbing. In my opinion, and based largely on your research of this topic (and a trip to an unfortunate neighborhood in Denham Springs), inflatable lawn decorations should be outlawed, and the sooner, the better. I hope you make it back safely from your Shreveport exile, because you make me laugh…T
