  1. haha, I love them all! It seems more are in the holiday spirit this year and that’s great to see!
    I like spinach and feta, but I’d like the whole egg, not just the whites, Please. Ya see, I’m in kind of a bind and need strength to get out of this fix…

  2. I like the mailbox topper turtle and the vikings. There seem to be more Grinches than Santas around here this year, but they appear to be post-heart-growing-3x, so I guess it’s OK.

    Ham & Cheddar Omelet for me.

      1. In the Grinch Stole Christmas. At the end, his heart grew three sizes and he gave back all the presents he had stolen. He joined the Whos for the feast “and he, himself! The Grinch carved the roast beast.”

  3. So many to like but I’ll go with the traditional Santa and Christmas tree. The bus is fantastic. How about an order of ricotta pancakes while I kick back and listen. Merry Christmas, John & crew!

  9. You have some fun ones here–the turtle and Viking Santa gnome are so cute! Over here we seem to have the inflatables that become deflatables in the daytime. I get a kick out of seeing them splayed out on the lawns. They look like how I feel during this season.

    I’m picturing the puma and the panther seeing that giant bulldog on their front yard…😂

  10. Wow, the bus looks fabulous! The lighted beard and mustache are a nice touch. I don’t usually care for blown-up decorations, but that Frenchie is so cute! And so are the armadillo, turtle elf, and Santa with his longhorn. A most enjoyable Sunday, John!

  20. I just love that Santa bus. THAT is some holiday cheer going strong right there.

    As for the decorations, they just kept getting bolder and more fantastic. I though the turtle was going to steal the prize and then the Viking Santa came along and I was like, whoa! And then the skeleton crew made me think . . how comes I can’t have a three way tie?
