Stationary Figures With a Lot of Charm
If you want your yard to look beautiful and festive but not necessarily over the top there are a number of inflatable figures out there for you. Many of these figures range from six-foot tall to ten-foot tall and are made of a strong nylon canvas material that can hold up to the winter weather. You are probably wondering if these inflatables are so big, how can they be easy to set up? That can be answered by explaining their inflation system. Most figures like this have self-inflation, which means you turn them on and the small air pump attached to their base does its work. It’s as easy as that! A lot of these stationary figures represent everyone’s favorite classic Christmas characters. Just like with lighted wire figures you can find just about any kind of Santa Claus inflatable that your heart desires. There are many different versions of Santa standing and Santa in his sleigh. You can also find more unconventional Santa’s like Santa in a car, Santa on a motorcycle, or Santa in an airplane leaving the reindeer at home for a faster delivery in the skies. For military families out there, one stand up Santa comes dressed fully in military uniform! There are also single versions of just Santa’s sleigh, as well as single reindeer, and the sleigh and reindeer combination.
Snowmen are also a popular sight during the holidays and there is not any shortage of them available in the inflatable figures. You can purchase a single snowman as well as an entire family of three who appear to be caroling. Animals that are synonymous with the winter months such as polar bears and penguins are a very popular choice for these decorations. If you wish you could even decorate your yard with the great northern moose holding a present and wearing a scarf! If you want to have traditional inanimate figures on your lawn there are also plenty of those including a nativity scene complete with manger, a Christmas train with three to four cars, a large wooden cross, and of course many varieties of inflatable Christmas trees. All of these inflatable decorations light up at night to make certain that no one will miss the Christmas joy your home is projecting.
Traditional Christmas figures are not the only ones that can make your yard look like a wonderland during the holidays. There are many cartoon and television characters that show up on these decorations as well. One of the most popular choices is Winnie the Pooh and his hundred acre wood friends. The Winnie the Pooh characters come in many different stationary designs such as riding in a sleigh, decorating a Christmas tree, and caroling to passers by. The Sesame Street favorite of many children, Elmo is also available in many different designs, one of them being Elmo riding in Santa’s sleigh. Snoopy and Charlie Brown from the Peanuts Gang also have their own special inflatable decorations, such as Snoopy decorating his doghouse in lights, and the two of them standing around the always famous Charlie Brown Christmas tree. Even more unconventional cartoon characters can be found like Homer Simpson dressed as Santa Clause, and Spongebob Squarepants sitting on a chimney ready to go down and deliver toys!
There are many movies during the holidays that epitomize the feeling of Christmas so it is only proper that the characters from these movies would be made into inflatable figures. You can of course find many different decorations from the movie Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, like Rudolph hooked up to the sleigh, and Rudolph as a fawn with Hermie the elf. Frosty the Snowman also has a few options, the most popular being Frosty standing alone smiling in his magical hat! Who could forget the Grinch! The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is and always will be one of the most popular Christmas movies and his figure can be found riding in a sleigh wearing his Santa hat.
Inflatable Animation on the Move
There are also some inflatable decorations that can add a bit of movement to your yard. These inflatables will not only blow up and light up; they will have a small motor and a few parts that allow them to move around. One of the most popular animated figures is the image of Santa Claus coming out of the chimney, a reindeer trying to help him. The reindeer takes Santa’s hand and tries to pull him from the chimney over and over again. There are also versions where Santa simply comes in and out of the chimney just like everyone expects him to on Christmas Eve. On a little different level you can get a group of carolers for your yard. Santa Claus and Snowmen stand together holding carols in their hands, while their hands move up and down. A music box inside the figure plays Christmas songs. Most of these caroling figures come with an extensive list of popular Christmas songs. This inflatable is usually around eight-foot tall.
Larger than life snow globes are also on hand around the holidays. Some snow globes such as Winnie the Pooh and snowmen and penguins are stationary within the globe but a constant push of air makes sure they are always right in the middle of a snowfall! The globes range anywhere from six feet to ten feet tall. Other snow globes provide a snowfall as well as an animated scene in the center of the globe. Some of these include Santa rotating around the world in his sleigh on Christmas Eve, and Santa coming out of the chimney.
Inflatable figures like these are a great way to add a different touch to your yard during the holidays. They are Christmas decorations that can be touched and felt without being disrupted. They bring a new sense of fun to yards across the world. They are also a favorite of many different commercial Christmas stores and sights. While they are a lot of fun and beautiful it is important to remember that they may take a great deal more energy than your regular holiday decorations, so remember to conserve and turn them off when you head to bed at night. With all of this in mind you have probably picked out the perfect inflatable decoration for your home. In no time your yard will be filled with a fun Christmas spirit that cannot be rivaled!
