Today's prompt: How do you feel about outdoor holiday decorations? Are you a fan of the giant inflatables? Prefer a minimalist approach? Have firm preferences on the color of the lights?

If there is a sense of kitsch with the giant inflatables, they can be amusing. I admit I haven't seen a lot of them. Growing up, my dad always used colored spotlights on different parts of the yard--some color on the white birch and a light on the front door's wreath, and maybe some blue and white lights on the small pine tree. And since I grew up with that, it's how I would decorate the outside of my home. I would probably also make some ice luminaries. I like greenery, wreaths, red bows, and simple decorations. I get a kick out of the wilder places and love to drive around looking at the different displays.
