Inflatables Become Rage in Christmas Decorating
WASHINGTON - Have you seen the newest Christmas yard decorations? How could you miss them?
Forget about stringing popcorn or draping plain white lights on a live tree. Forget the old plastic Santa with a light inside of it. The latest trend in holiday decorations is big and animated.
Giant inflatable Christmas ornaments -- everything from the Grinch to Frosty to Santa to reindeer -- are showing up on lawns, roofs and inside homes.
Just how popular are they? A Google search for "inflatable decorations" nets 686,000 possibilities. On eBay, dozens of people are selling them.
Local retailers are having a hard time keeping them in stock. They range in price from $20 to more than $300.
These popular decorations are usually made of nylon or vinyl, and are blown-up with an enclosed electrical pump.
They stand 8 feet tall and need to be grounded down with stakes and tie-downs.
The "next generation" is snow globes that feature characters inside a plastic vinyl bubble with styrofoam 'snow' circulating continuously.
