This pic was sent to me by a friend and I thought it was hysterical. My first thought was to add a motor and give this guy kicking action like a Halloween hangman. Just wanted to share this with everyone:)

Below is what was written in the email:

"Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard."

Ha, I have gotten that email....seeing him kicking would probably incite calls to local law enforcement.

I have a fake looking (he's stuffed, but kind of flat) Santa that is like that, I am going to hang him off the garage on Christmas Eve. If I were brave enough to use the extension ladder I could get him to the edge of the roof, he's got gutter clips installed on his mittens, but it would probably be me hanging there in the end! I'll just stick to the garage....
