I’d like a giant cross with a seat, so I could invite my mother-in-law to climb up on it and make herself comfy when she gets going at Christmas dinner. :rolleyes: ---

[QUOTE=Leiko] But I wouldn’t mind an inflatable Epiphany camel or three. The Wise Men don’t get enough love these days. [/QUOTE] It’s not inflatable, nor is it an outdoor ornament, but I have a wooden 3 humped camel, with a King (or a Wise Man) in/on each hump, and the front King dangling a star in front of the camel, carrot-style. I think it, or rather the version of it belonging to my parents, was even featured in a sermon once. ---

Not inflatable or for Christmas, but for Halloween I always wanted to get together a hundred or so of those creepy-ass wire-frame deer, put them in the front yard facing the street, and get all of their heads swaying in unison. ---

An inflatalble Ron Jeremy, with what he does best inflated super-size and decorated like a christmas tree. With an decoration on top, of course! We could have a contest to decide what the decoration will be. Maybe Santa giving him a BJ? (Where do I put the coal?) 🙂 ---

Big Ol’ Jesus, with a credit card in his outstretched hand, bowing down to a nice Mexican Idolized Mary, with the Wise Men wheeled up in their intricately inflateable Lexxus’ss. With a lot of little sparkly lights. ---

Gun totin’ Baby Jesus. (It doesn’t have to be fan-blown or inflatable; the “Chernobyl Holy Family” version is acceptable.) ---

There is a New Yotk department store Barney’s that last year did a “Christmas theme” window decoration based on Andy Warhol and his most famous prints. So I would do that, have a “snow globe” with bits of foam snow blowing around a print of repeated Marilyn Monroes, Campbell Soup cans, etc. ---

[QUOTE=Athena] Not really an inflatable, but in the same spirit: About ten years ago, I used to have neighbors that put out a whole mess of those lighted wire reindeer. They put them right at the edge of my yard. I think they even moved, raising and lowering their heads. They weren’t all that bad really, but I got sick of seeing the same deer in the same place every Christmas. I really, really wanted to find a lighted wire hunter that I could set up in my bushes, drawing a bead on those damn deer. Never could figure out how to do it, though, and if I did I’m sure the HOA would have found some way to make me take it down. [/QUOTE] A lighted hunter. I.LOVE.IT! I’m pretty sure if you put the Lighted Hunter in the Manger Protecting BABY JESUS, it would get approval from everyone. After all, Baby Jesus needs to be protected!!!111!! Failing that, howzabout a Lighted Tank. That would be schweeeet! ---
