Awesome! I remember some of these. Pieces like this bring me closer to my childhood Christmases.

This is what I strive for every year on my front lawn. I have quite a collection of blow molds that I put out every year.

This is what my Heaven looks like. There's the choir to sing me in!

I actually have that same Snowman, although my version doesn't have the greeting on the shovel blade.

For you blow mold lovers, Lowe's actually has several this year! I saw them yesterday. A large candy cane, candle and toy soldier. Oh, and a much smaller Mickey and Minnie Mouse. $40 each. Nice to see them out in the wild. I may have to get one.

If you love blow mold holiday decor, then you should go to 'Melt' restaurant during the Meet. I've not been to the one in Columbus yet, but have been to one in Akron and Cleveland. They decorate with them...and the occasional Mego!

Santa and the reindeer on the roof are on my wife's "top five" want list. We actually saw that set at two local flea markets but the vendor just wouldn't part with them. Drives us a little mad.

[B-Lister]

Why have them at a flea market if you aren't trying to sell them?

[EmergencyIan]

^ That is odd!

When I was a child, I remember a house at the edge of our neighborhood having that Santa, sleigh and reindeer on the roof. It went up for years. It was always a highlight for me. I was especially captivated by it when I still believed in Santa, as you’d expect.

Yeah, that wasn't lost on us. One vendor took hers down because we kept gently offering and she almost waffled. I think that bothered her so she removed them.

[B-Lister]

You'll find a set eventually, I'm sure.

[palitoy]

Yeah, i'm not terribly concerned about it but I am surprised that it's this challenging.

In the meantime you can pick up some more blow molded nativity scenes.

I actually have. Found two wise men at Value Village.

I have a variation of the Snowman, and I do have the Carolers. They need some work though. Their heads take separate bulbs from their bodies.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I've always wanted the reindeer and sleigh set. I have one of the deer that I customized into a Rudolph with a red bulb for his nose WAY back in high school. My neighbors had the sleigh set a few years ago, but their son probably destroyed it, as I haven't seen it since halfway into that Christmas season.
