They got into my shed and chewed the box and the artificial tree, chewing several wires. I fixed all but one section because I can’t find where one layer of lights is damaged.This year we went out to the forest and cut a live tree.
I really dislike the inflatable Santas, snowmen, reindeer, etc. Christmas decoration that have popped up in recent years. Comparable Halloween ones aren’t quite so bad, and for the first time this year I saw an inflatable Thanksgiving decoration: a turkey. On the plus side for outdoor Christmas decorations, since the widespread use of LEDs, outdoor strings of lights are looking much better, especially with the more intense blue and yellow colors!
We keep our tree in the basement under the stairs. Most of the ornaments (in large plastic boxes) are stored on top of the tree as are some bear figures which we set up in the living room and the boxes for two of the small trees. Fabric ornaments we have made (I am an embroiderer) are kept upstairs for safety.
In the other side of the basement are the plastic boxes with the teddy bear tree and village Christmas decoration.

When they are a bunch of them deflated on a yard it looks like a crime scene

There’s an idea for a movie. “Janis Pinking Shears”

A rat with pinking shears. I guess that’s possible if you have a flexible enough definition of “rat”.

“Rats!” Nice nod to Peanuts.

Up the street there’s an inflatable snowman and two Santas lying on the ground, partially inflated.

Janis’ expression of shock is great. She can easily distract Arlo with a visit to the bedroom, so she’ll be fine.

Sandra Boynton’s book Christmastime describes them as “They can and should be blown up.”
