Every year, homeowners around the country put up vibrant yard displays to welcome the holiday season and spread a little cheer to passers-by. Some neighborhoods are so famous for their annual displays that Christmas lights are mandatory for every house. Still, the most spectacular lawn displays usually involve more than lights. Inflatable Christmas decorations are a playful way to add a little fun to your yard during the holidays.

You’ve probably seen inflatable decorations before. They stand between 3 and 10 feet high, though some super-sized inflatables can reach 25-30 feet. The largest ornaments are usually reserved for parades and businesses. Every inflatable decoration is made from weather-resistant vinyl. Moisture and extreme temperatures won’t harm the surface. Some of these delightful decorations are inflated with an electric pump. Others are self-inflating, “air blown” lawn ornaments.

Should you choose inflatable decorations for your yard? If you’re going for a somber and serious holiday look, probably not. But if you’ve got a sense of humor or some fun-loving kids, inflatable decorations are the way to go. They bob around merrily in the breeze, but remain anchored to the ground through the use of weights and stakes. Your little ones will love running outside to look up at the giant lawn decorations.

Inflatable lawn ornaments can be found at Christmas Decorations Online. Just look for the inlfatable decorations. Online decoration shopping is fun and easy. Find air blown and pump inflatables that range from cute and classic to hilarious and unique. If you want your front yard to be unforgettable, look online for truly stunning lawn decorations.

Choose your holiday yard theme with an eye toward your family’s unique personality. Do you have a father who fishes? Maybe you should select an inflatable Santa with a fishing pole over his shoulder and an angler’s hat atop his head. Is your child absolutely smitten with toys and presents? Get some inflatable gift boxes and put them under a giant inflatable Christmas tree. Maybe you’ve got a biker in the family. They’d definitely get a kick out of an inflatable biker Santa with Rudolph in the side-car.

Arctic themes are very popular. Imagine a snowy yard where penguins and polar bears played together. You could do something creative, like have the penguins line up in front of an inflatable snow cone stand. An inflatable igloo would provide the perfect backdrop for this adorable display.

Maybe you have a little boy (or a grown man) who is fascinated with trains. There are inflatable train lawn ornaments full of gifts. Toss around a few more gift boxes and light up your trees with multi-colored bulbs for a really playful effect. You can even find an inflatable Santa Claus in his workshop at the North Pole. All of these decorations could be combined for a terrific “Polar Express” motif. Cartoon character lawn decorations are another great choice for the young at heart. You can find Snoopy, Winnie the Pooh, Elmo, and even SpongeBob Squarepants all decked out in Christmas finery.

Do you have a joker in the family? Make them chuckle with something really off-the-wall. There are some truly elaborate and humorous inflatable displays. One features Santa Claus playing poker with his reindeer pals. Another depicts Santa getting a speeding ticket for flying his sleigh too fast. Imagine the laughs you’ll get with an inflatable reindeer helping a stuck Santa out of a chimney on your rooftop. The more irreverent the ornaments, the more memorable they’ll be. Entertain your passers-by with funny decorations that will keep them coming back for a second look – with friends.

Little girls often have a deep love for horses and carousels. If that’s the case with your child, you can find inflatable Christmas lawn ornaments that look like festive merry-go-rounds. Giant air blown snow globes look great on a snowy lawn. They often contain penguins, elves, or other inflatable figures waving hello to onlookers. Animation adds another dimension of fun to Christmas decorations. For example, an inflatable Santa standing next to an inflatable igloo could be cute. But imagine if Santa’s legs were sticking out of the igloo and waving around in distress because he’d gotten stuck? Or perhaps the igloo contains a pop-up penguin just waiting to hand Santa a cup of hot cocoa. Animated Christmas lawn decorations are greater than the sum of their parts.

Maybe you want your yard to be a classic winter wonderland. In that case, look for inflatable Christmas archways that let your guests pass from the real world into your holiday fantasy. Put up an inflatable sleigh pulled by reindeer (or penguins masquerading as reindeer). Throw in some inflatable stockings with adorable teddy bears peeking out. Children will love to walk down a vinyl pathway and into the arms of an inflatable storytelling Santa. With just a few more accents like candy canes and some Christmas elves, you’ll soon have a magical North Pole exhibit to awe your guests.

If you’ve got a family in the armed services, welcome them home for the holidays with an inflatable military Santa. Dressed in fatigues, this figure comes with a sign that reads, “God Bless America”. He can be paired up with the patriotic Uncle Sam Santa who holds a banner bearing the same message. Make a statement and let onlookers know that you support your soldier and all the service members who defend our freedom.

The best-dressed yards in America usually contain some inflatable holiday decorations. Because of their resilient material and easy set-up, inflatable decorations have gained in popularity. They don’t require as much electricity as Christmas lights, though some inflatables do have an internal light source that allows them to show up well at night. Make your yard the must-see holiday display in your neighborhood with some fun and colorful Christmas lawn ornaments.
