Christmas Decorations

These are photos of a variety of outdoor decorations found around Knoxville. I want to emphasize that most of these, including the next one, are not from our house. There is a style of decorations called "inflatables" and they can take many forms. Unfortunately we have not found an inflatable manger scene, just cartoon characters and the ever present Santa.Here's our front door. Jacob complains that we don't do more, to which we respond that when he grows up he can decorate his own house however he wants.
These folks have gone with a Christmas tree in lights theme, accompanied by lit candy canes.
Here's a closeup of the design.
This layout includes candy canes, a snowman, and several deer. It also featured several trees done up in colored lights.
Those with too much time on their hands wrap the trunks and branches of trees with white lights. It create a beautiful effect but it must take hours and hours to wrap all those strands of lights. This tree also holds large size shiny ornaments, which became popular this year.
This person didn't stop at decorating one tree.
Many houses are tastefully decorated with greenry around the door, accented with lights and red bows.
There's another inflatable....almost Frosty the Snowman but not quite.
This house wins the tasteful award, with lighted wreaths on all the windows.
