Giant inflatable Snoopies and Micky Mice kill my Christmas spirit

4. A house we drive by used to have a set of home made Charlie Brown Christmas figures

Sometime around 1980 when the family first moved in, they began making figures, adding to them every year. They started with Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and a Christmas tree and added one or two a year for a couple of decades. I'm not sure what happened - if the family moved on, or as I heard rumored that the figures were stolen one year - but the house no longer has them out and hasn't for a long time.

I hate those inflatable things - they are ugly and noisy. If I lived in a neighborhood where people put those things up, I'd be tempted to take up archery or lawn darts. That is why I do NOT live in a neighborhood!
