I wish I had a neighbor like that.

My neighbors are fine. Just no giant skeletons.

My family leaves the Christmas tree up at my grandma’s bc it’s huge and a pain to assemble. We decorate that for each holiday. Birthdays get a random assortment of pictures of birthday boy/girl in it with the presents underneath. It’s actually pretty cool.

That’s just being smart, but assert dominance, they take it down during Halloween.

I’ve seen a couple of these here in Chicago that are decorated year round. Saw a ton on Halloween this year.

I know of another one up in NoVA. I wonder if it’s some secret club of cool people.

There's 2/3 (I think the one guy has 2 but I didnt see them both last time I was near that way) of them depending which roads you take. One buy the elementary school and another once you get off the high way that leads towards 7/11.

I’d honestly have nowhere to put it. Not just for space reasons, but so I also didn’t scare the shit out of myself every time I forgot about it.

There's someone who does this near my workplace too! I pass it every day. Around Halloween, they don't just leave it as a giant skeleton. They have dressed it up in different costumes. It had a sheet covering it last year to make it into a ghost.

It’s bc they don’t have anywhere to store it

My neighbor keeps one up year round, too. During the off-season, because this guy goes all out for Halloween, I'm talking a full haunted house that people can come visit. His MIL lives next door so they commission her house, too.

Anyway, during the off-season, he dons a Bills jersey. I would love to know how he got the jersey on it.

I had a neighbor that did this for Christmas last year! I hoped he would keep it up year round, but unfortunately it was put away in January

I have a neighbor like that too. They have a quote on their back fence (faces a main road) that the skeleton peeks over

Very nice. My neighbor just leaves it plain

Fun fact: just take a giant Santa and leave it out until spring. Usually after a month or two the flesh rots off and bam! Free giant skeleton!

I love this. I recently saw a Christmas Tree decorated for St Pat's Day. I'll have to figure outbwhere I saw it and check out the Easter decorations.

The 12 ft Home Depot skeleton that was popular a few years ago. It doesn't bend well and would take up half of the garage to store. That's why there are so many standing all year in the US.

If I brought home a giant skeleton my wife would be like, "you wasted your money on what????? You better find ways to use it as much as possible!" So I know where you are coming from. Good useage!

Because it's easier than finding a place to store it between Halloweens.

Another weird trend thing. The skeletons were in high demand- and the year round costumes are sold by the same company

Do you live in North California? Cause I know somebody that also does that.

I know someone in my town who does the same. Ran into her at dollar tree the other day as she was buying supplies to dress it up for Easter. She also has a smaller skeleton and a 2 headed dragon. They all get decorated for every holiday.

Someone in my town did this last year. It started at Halloween, which makes sense. But then we were all treated to Fall/Thanksgiving Skeleton. Then Christmas Skeleton. Then Mardi Gras Skeleton. Then Easter Skeleton. Finally they took it down.

My mom actually does the same thing just with one of those smaller plastic ones.

She tried getting her hands on one of the big ones though.

My hometown has one too that has become a sort of local celebrity. It got stolen once an was never returned, so people all pitched in to get the house another one. I love it!

It could be worse... my neighbor abuses animals and keeps the lawn unmowed, so we have a rat problem. I would 100000% take this over my current neighbor.

cecil721 t1_jeee1yd wrote

Skelly can be purchased at Home Depot around Holloween time. They are often left in place because the people who buy it often don't consider how to store it once the Spoopy season ends. Hence, Skelly became a year-round phenomenon.

I'd do the same after paying $1000 for a Halloween decoration.
