Take a Gander at This, or, Humiliating Your Lawn Ornaments

It takes a special person to truly appreciate lawn ornaments.  It takes an even more special one to display seasonal lawn ornaments.  I mean, think of the dedication and desire it takes to slog through the snow to change your “Santa Stop Here!” mini-banner to the more January-appropriate “Let it Snow!” one.  And then you have to go out and do it all over again for Valentine’s Day!

That is a commitment.

It used to be that people with fake plastic geese in their yards had it easy.  They chose a relatively low-maintenance yard decor.  You poked their little bird bodies in the yard and maybe hosed them off every once in a while.  No fuss.  No muss.

Until now.

The Miles Kimball company has decided you plastic bird lovers need to get with the holiday program.  No longer shall your neighbors be content with your lowly naked geese.  Perk up!  Get with the program!  Outfit those geese in the most fantastic, humiliating ways imaginable!

Sure, some of you may want to go minimalist and just put a name plate around your goose’s neck like those tacky Wilsons did here…

That’s just lazy, though.  Here are just a few of the holiday-themed outfits for your lawn geese the seamstresses at Miles Kimball have cooked up just for you…

Finally, Miles offers us two different ways to celebrate Christmas.

First, you can go more secular with these Santa-inspired get ups…

Or you can choose to get all Biblical with the event and dress your geese up like Mary and Joseph.  Please note the Baby Jesus Goose swaddled in Mary’s wing….

Be careful though, Goose-Dressing Enthusiasts…if you embarrass  your geese too much, they might be forced into the Lawn Ornament Witness Relocation  Program (LOWRP) disguised as entirely different lawn decor!

  1. If I ever have any of these… kill me, quickly!

    The Halloween costumes are kinda cute though… like a gateway drug for lawn ornament collectors.

  2. I too have a porch goose. Well to be honest I have two. When I inherited my parents house I received another goose. The people in my neighborhood get a kick out of them. I make all there outfits ( I know). My neighbors will call and aske when I am going to change those geese…I say ” as soon as 4 of the 6 feet of snow we have melts…LOL…
