Stuff Hillbillies Like: Weird, Christmas Iconic Juxtapositions

Tigger dances the "Yay Jesus, It's Your Birthday" dance.

One things hillbillies love: Christmas juxtapositions that would make Salvador Dali scratch his head.

Recently I saw a manger scene overshadowed by a menacing 7-foot tall inflatable penguin with a Santa hat. Perhaps the penguin was an angelic spirit sent to protect the little baby Jesus; but, the menacing smile appeared he was of a malicious bent.

In another yard, Frosty the Snowman stands perilously close to a raging torch, perhaps lit by ashes from his corn cob pipe, a major health hazard for snowmen and women.

Jesus, I was led to believe, was born in Bethlehem. According to hillbillies, he was born in the North Pole, on Candy Cane Lane.

Wire-framed reindeer share yard space with polar bears in the hillbilly iconography, even though in the natural environs, the reindeer is food for the polar bear.

Interesting and ironic holiday yard art is merely a visual representation of the bizarro world of the hillbilly where abled-bodied people use scooters, cars sit on blocks and homes ride on wheels.
