Boring Xmas decorations

On my way home I keep seeing what passes as Christmas decorations today. You know the ones, those ugly no imagination used to design inflatable things, the mass produced reindeer with their heads going up and down or side to side. All those commercial useless rubber stamped decorations of what some moron without a bone of creativity in their body thinks people should put on their lawns and homes. Uninspiring and boring. But what should I expect, most people today have no novel thoughts or individuality. If it isn't in a movie, advertisement, magazine or some form of media they wouldn't eat it, read it wear it, and so on. While I don't believe in or celebrate Christmas I did enjoy years ago seeing the decorations. Every house that was decorated was different. Different colors, different shapes, they made their own sleds and reindeer out of plywood or wire along with stars and balls whatever came into their minds. Trees that had lost their leaves and those that didn't were covered in lights. Imaginations were used it was worth driving around to see the different decorations. Some towns even had contests. Now just go to to one of the home improvement stores and you've seen what's on most houses you don't have to waste time or gas driving around to be disgusted or bored. Look how far we've come "One stop boredom".
