Violations Cited
- Unharmonious Arrangement Violation: Yard decorations should be placed in aesthetically pleasing arrangements. Please refer to other rules for tips. Lining up the figures in rows or alphabetically is still not pleasing, organized yes, pleasing, no.
- Griswold Family Violation: If your neighbors have nicknamed you the Griswold family and you are aware of this (you have rude neighbors, your nickname should never be divulged), you probably shouldn’t tell people.
- Monochromatic Violation: If your decorating theme involves the over-use of one color, you are in violation.
- W.T.H. (What the Heck!?) Violation: Random, non-holiday decor has no place in December. Just because you were given a cool giant light up smiley face does not mean you should put it on the roof this month!
- King Kong Complex Violation: If a giant polar bear is standing anywhere near a mid-sized Santa or the Abominable Snowman is lurking over the manger, do something, quick!
- Seizur-ific Violation: Sometimes using foil is just a little too much when combined with all of those bright lights. Also, too much blinking or out of sync movement can put you in jeopardy of losing your Christmas light license.
- Frequent Lighter Card: If you have the electric company or an electrician on speed dial, you need a new hobby.
- P.O.W. (Prisoners of a Wall) Violation: Trapping your Christmas village behind a fence is way too constricting for the purpose that these figures must serve during this time of year. Free the inflatables!
- More is Not Less Violation: Just another reminder that Christmas is a season of minimalism. Too much of anything is not a good thing. Remember that other cliché; less is more? It really is. Less of an energy bill is more money in your pocket to give to others or to buy something nice to not put on your lawn.
- Fallen Figurines/Drive-by Shooting Victims Violation: These poor souls should not be illuminated. If you aren’t going to go outside to set them all back up, don’t plug them in. No one wants to see Mary and Joseph laying down as if involved in a deadly drive-by shooting.
- Multiple Clauses Violation: There is one Santa Claus and only one. I repeat- you may not have more than ONE Santa in your yard at anytime. (The exception is this; if you have a Santa from another culture or a Santa of another ethnicity, THEN you may have another Santa among the deciduous forest that is your yard. This does not mean you may have an inflatable Santa AND a plastic, light-up Santa. Inflatable is not an ethnicity). The same rules apply for Mrs. Claus. Santa is not an adulterer. We must show Santa as an upstanding and moral citizen, despite the 3rd world wages he pays the elves.
- Elves: While we are on the subject. This is one group of people that even we don’t mess with. Everyone knows that Santa hardly does any work at the North Pole. His input on who’s naughty or nice is non-existent. He’s too busy making mall appearances and such. The elves are the ones that MapQuest directions for Santa, they check the list, they pack the presents, THEY are in charge. Go buck wild with the elves…if you must.
- Intermingling Violation: This is strictly prohibited. There should not be a North Pole sign lit up outside of the manger scene. A giant inflatable Santa should not be peering into the manger. Jesus was born in a manger, a place of nothingness, a symbol of scarcity and minimalism. Santa and friends next to the manger is mockery of the Lord! They are taunting the KING!
- Snowman In-Laws Violation: I hate to say it but we MUST have limitations on how many snowmen may appear on the lawn of the average single family dweling. The average family size in the United States is 3.14 with the average household size being 2.59 (US Census Bureau). That being said, we will be generous and say that there cannot be a family of snowmen that exceeds 4 on your lawn. Four is plenty. Again, real snowmen, inflatable snowmen, plastic snowmen, etc are not classified differently, they are still snowmen.

While I am not the greatest fan of christmas, being the overly commercialized, materialistic holiday that it is, I'm going to have to say what is really tacky is your website. Don't you have anything better to do?
Peace
The thing I find funny, is the huge number of people who are upset about this site. What were they expecting from a site called tacky christmas yards, anyway? Why come here if you're not interested in getting a giggle out of the outrageous things some people choose to do with their decorations? Silly people, it's like a tv - if you don't like what you're seeing, change the channel.
I think that this site upsets people because it points out the TRUTH. Keeping up with the Jones is still alive! Even in a world where the environment is going to pot, people will still waste resources in order to stoke their ego. Do people really think that putting all that litter on their yards makes them appear to be more religious than the next guy?
Some of these are very nicely lit houses. Shame on you thinking you are judge and jury of what any household's particular taste is and SHAME for claiming that nobody collects snowmen or Santa Claus.
Yard displays are FOR FUN, to spread cheer, and with families, the kids get an input...so if they want Santa to celebrate the birth of Christ with them then that is up to the kids/family who is living there.
"just a fun challenge to find the most violations." This site is not fun, and NOT in keeping the holiday spirit by picking on people who have spent many hours working on THEIR yard to it the way THEY wanted it and thinking you are somehow better as are those who sent in pictures so you can stand in judgment as you people are the only RIGHT ones....which of course is not true, God judges all of us. Not any one human is allowed, nor should be proud of being this harsh on fellow mankind.
There are NO RULES as to how anyone decorates their yard. You want to share, try a MY OPINION OF TOO MUCH, etc. would be more appropriate as there are no violations as there is no right or wrong.
Sign me irritated in Iowa!
That's very DISCO!! I love it! :-)
