BTW, I apologize for being tardy responding to comments and messages, and awards. We are laying floors at my house (the whole house), and my laborer will quit, I am afraid if I lay out on the computer. I do sneak in a few looks every once in awhile.....
This is the email.

Read the story before you look at the picture.
Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations this year
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.
Kind of feel like I gave in to the man by taking him down but my neighbor did confirm several near miss accidents on the busy street next to my house. I think I made him too real this time
So it was fun while it lasted

Oh my gosh! That is so funny and I bet that did draw attention. LOL
Hillarious, Janie! Wouldn't that be a hoot? I wonder if I could do something like that with my front yard trees. Nah, probably wouldn't work as well. It's notable that so many people wanted to help the poor "guy."
Too Funny!

Oh boy! What a sense of humor. Too bad they had to take it down. I guess it was too realistic looking. Maybe if they tried dressing him in a Santa outfit?
Oh my gosh, Janie! I can't stop laughing. What a sense of humor that person has.
LOL!!! Hope the floor installation goes smoothly:)
