The Fantastic decorated yard of Christmas Castaways

Maybe we could have a contest for the best decorated yard using old broken materials in a new way. Meanwhile here’s some ideas.

Santa’s Stargate:

Turn a trampoline on it’s side.
Decorate the rim properly.
Cut the front third of the slay off, and attach it against the jumping surface.
Put Santa in the front of the sleigh.
Put up reindeer in front of the sleigh.
You now have Santa emerging from a stargate.

Salvador Dolly Christmas:

Take all the old half inflated decorations, and put them in a yard. Take a picture and send it out for Christmas as a Salvador Dolly Christmas card. Meanwhile
you’ll have the best Salvador Dolly yard in the neighborhood that will finally put those neighbors to shame that only have a few half inflated decoration.

Last year’s thread on Christmas decorations you hope don’t show up in a store!

I was inspired by Draelin in this thread for the Santa’s Stargate.

@Draelin

There’s several like that around here, too. Including one house that has a wreath that takes up the entire face of the house. Just a big, giant pine circle all lit up and fancified, with Santa and his sleigh on the lawn in front of it. I call it Santa’s Stargate.

What about Santa doing a crash landing in front of the yard–sleigh face down, Santa tipped over, reindeer and presents lying scattered about?

…Best to do this in a neighborhood with very few kids, though…

Oooh, I’m an inspiration. It’s a Christmas Miracle.

That works too.

Draelin I’m glad to have made your day.

I’d swear this thread was posted on the Titanic. It’s going down fast and I thought it wouldn’t.
