It had a Doper with their outdoor Christmas display, and their Santa would go Ho Ho Ho! but it was low on batteries and went something like, Heeewooooooorah. Sorry, that’s all I’ve got! ---

I found [this one](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/okay-thats-it-im-getting-the-shovel-v-long-and-v-strange/125221), but it’s not the one Toaster is talking about. The one I found is about a disembodied Santa head ornament, not an outdoor decoration. I’m posting it just to eliminate it from consideration…and because it’s still funny. ---

I did not, of course. I know it was well before 2009 but that’s about the best I can pin it. ---

I cannot help the OP, but I gotta say, I was laughing out loud from reading the thread at your link. Thanks for that! ---

I scanned the thread mainly to see if there were any posters I have seen recently that posted there. Cervaise was the only one. Sad to see Tuba Diva. If you permit a hijack, my son had a blow up Santa on his front lawn that reguarly deflated and he had to reinflate. One morning he got a frantic call from his neighbor across the street whose young child had totally melted down seeing the deflated (melted down?) Santa on my son’s lawn. Would he puhleeze reinflate it. ---
