Illinois Town Now Famous for Inflatable Christmas Decorations

How do you know if a place has the proper Christmas spirit? A good indication would be dozens of inflatable Christmas decorations lining nearly every street which is what has made one Illinois town famous.

I first saw this mentioned on the Illinois sub-Reddit. It's Illinois streets lined with inflatable Santa Claus, trees, snowmen and Grinches.

I did some digging and learned this is Barrington, Illinois where Fox 32 Chicago talked to the residents about how this inflatable Christmas trend got started.

It's impressive that each street has embraced a theme. One has numerous Santa Claus inflatables while others have trees and snowmen.

If your town in Illinois is going to be known for something, let it be something like this. There are worse reasons to make the news other than inflatable Christmas decorations that make the children happy.
