Tacky Isn’t the Reason for the Season… But It Could Be!

Holidays are by their very nature a little tacky, and Christmas is the tackiest holiday of them all. Bright reds and deep greens typically look awful together, but we tolerate the combination around Christmastime because those are the colors of the holiday. Suddenly traditional plaid fabrics are de rigueur and metallics are out in force. Snowman figurines become legitimate decor. Blow up statuary appears on lawns all over town. Blissfully, it all gets socked away for another year once the Times Square New Year’s Eve ball drops.

Before we can all once again hide our secret holiday shame, an act which brings with it its own wonderfully guilty pleasure, the people at Tacky Christmas Yards collect pictures of the most garish outdoor holiday decor displays they and their followers can find. The entries for this year’s list are still coming in, but there are plenty of tacky yards from 2007 that may amuse.
