Now that the Thanksgiving holiday is officially over (until next year turkey and pie), it's time to begin preparing for what is perhaps the most anticipated holiday of the year: Christmas! The Christmas season is one of my favorite parts of the year, especially the Christmas lights and decorations. A few years ago, my dad decided that our house needed a little jazzing up for the holiday, so he started buying Christmas inflatables for the front yard. Since then our yard has steadily become a pasture of inflatable Santas, Christmas trees, 14-foot nutcrackers and smiling snowmen. Throughout my many trips to Lowe's and Home Depot with my dad, I've seen many unique blow ups. Here is a list, in honor of this festive holiday, of the most... er... interesting inflatables to decorate your yard.

1. Bathing Santa

Who wouldn't want a bathing Santa to go with some fresh holiday wreaths?

2. Santa Claus Dinosaur

I'm not really sure who thought a Christmas dinosaur would be a good idea...

3. Sunbathing Santa

Santa's got the right idea; Christmas in paradise sounds great to me!

4. Santa Up a Tree

Talk about a good guard dog.

5. Bad Man Snowman

Maybe it's just me, but this seems a little too cruel for my front yard.

6. Dinosaur with a Christmas tree

I guess you could have a whole dinosaur theme going on.

7. Camouflage Santa

Shout out to my fellow southerners! Even Santa wants to blend in sometimes.

8. Santa's Wild Ride

It's about time Santa caught up with modern technology.

9. Santa's Swim Party

Is this how Santa spends his summers?

10. Tattooed Nutcracker

I don't think this nutcracker hangs out with the Sugar Plum Fairy.

And the best one...

11. Outhouse Santa


After all, even Santa has to use the bathroom.

There's nothing like a little Christmas spirit sprinkled throughout your front yard! Plus, you can give your neighbors a great holiday view of a bathing Santa or festive dinosaur. They're sure to bring out the Christmas joy in everyone.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
