Yes, folks, here's the part you've all been waiting for: my mother's lawn.
I swear to you, it really looks like this.

View of the front left side of the house. That's a large inflatable snowman-on-an-igloo right there.

View from the front walk, looking left. You can see the nativity set, as well as the front of the snowman-on-igloo. You can also see the giant inflatable polar bear next to the igloo (behind the tree), as well as at least two santas (one in sleigh, one not).

The choir. They are on the right side of the lawn.

We've had the choir children so long the boy's eyes fell off and now he's blind.

A new acquisition this year, the gay snowmen. Mom found them at a yard sale. She likes how they giggle together.

Also new this year, it's Rudolph! I saw him at Target and wanted to buy him for my mom but I'd already finished my shopping, so I called and left a message saying how much I missed her instead. Meanwhile, Mom's best friend Nancy also went to Target, saw the Rudolph, and knew my mother needed to have him, so Nancy bought it. Obviously Rudolph was meant to be. (Behind him, you can see the elf with the stack of presents, and on the other side, the little drummer boy.)

The white reindeer graze on the side of the house. Mom pulled that Reindeer Crossing sign out of somebody's trash.

Finally, the view of the front porch.
I love my mother.
