Inflatables and Kind Buckets / myLot

United States

December 8, 2024 6:04am CST

After my Christmas card theft (recap: post office employees thought my thick pop up Christmas cards meant gift cards and stole them and other customer’s mail), I decided to deliver the cards in person to the people who live around here. One being my cousin Kevi (yes, Kevi) and her family. On the way out of her neighborhood I shot this picture of the neighbor’s huge inflatable. I usually only see inflatables that big in parking lots. I also noticed Kevi left a sign on a table outside her front door, inviting the UPS, post office or Amazon Prime delivery person to grab a bottle of water (options also included soda and juice) or snack she had left for them in a bucket in the corner if they wanted one. I thought that was so sweet.

That is a sweet gesture for the delivery staff to enjoy a cold drink during their busy day. I think that sweetness runs in your family. The inflatable is too big for the size of the home, it should compliment the home not out-size it.

I can’t imagine wanting something that big in my yard.

@AmbiePam At least a thousand, but they might have gotten some kind of deal on it

I have seen some pretty big ones at Halloween. I also have seen people who must have a fortune invested in them and spend a pretty penny powering them. I like Kevi's Kind bucket.

Kevi does sound a very kind-hearted person. I love the reindeer but what a shame about your cards being stolen.

That is a HUGE inflatable! That's nice of Kevi . . . and the folks do appreciate that! I do try to look out for our postal person during those super heated CA days . . . it could be 100 degrees plus . . . those ice cold water bottles are sure appreciated!!

Yes, especially during those hot days. They must be miserable for delivery people.

@AmbiePam Out here, they have to do a lot of walking - I don't know how they manage that and carrying a heavy mail load under the scorching heat!

That inflatable is HUGE! it actually makes the house look small

That's such a nice gesture that your cousin offers drinks to the delivery people. I'm sure they appreciate the offer.

That's a BIG reindeer. That was nice of Kevi to offer snacks to the delivery people. Have a good week.

i've seen some houses with huge inflatables like that one. i think delivering cards in person was the best option, not risking them being wasted again. and Kevi's so thoughtful with that sign and water and snacks - you're lucky to have friends that think that way
