no likey
To each their own my friend. I get a ton of compliments...
"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps, means a little bit more!"
We also have a neighbor that let their dog run loose. It used to come into our yard regularly and terrorize my nephew. The dog ended up biting someone who was walking past their house. It was reported and the dog had to be put down. I feel for you.
The only thing I do outdoors is put lights on the front and side bushes. They're so big it takes me 3 hours. Last year I tried some C9's because they have happy memories for me too. I started with LED, but they were WAY too bright, so I switched to the incandescent, which were much better. This year I've added purple bulbs, but I'm nervous that they're going to look Eastery, instead of the Charlie Brown fun I was picturing. With those I'm putting white mini lights on the shorter (over 5' high) front bushes. I'm looking forward to seeing it all lit.
The holly's up, the house is all bright, The tree is ready, the candles alight; Rejoice and be glad, all children tonight.
I have a couple of those candles and another two "Wooden" soldiers that are blow molds.

don't like them
I use a combination. What I do like best about them is that you can get a nice big inflatable into a very small box, unlike blow molds for instance...

wind and ice wiped out the neighbors inflatables last year, they don't last
Yeah, you most certainly have to stay on top of them. But, when the inevitable comes, like last year's real tree, it will be time for a new one...
