This one is okay - but the one they were selling here in Virginia at Costco (and Walmart?) was a 7-foot globe with a lifesize Santa, Frosty, *and* Rudolph inside, grouped in a festive circle-jerk . . . and you’re right, the snow effect *was* pretty cool!  People kept blocking the aisles to stare at this thing with their mouths wide open. And all of that holiday splendor could be yours for just $149.

I hadda use my shopping cart to SMASH! my way through the crowd, angrily yelling “One side! ONE SIDE!” at the gawkers. 

Rude fuckers.  I’VE GOT A HUGE HONKIN’ BAG OF TATER TOTS TA GET!! ONE SIDE, GAWDAMNYA!!

I was sitting here thinking I got a yard(2+ acres) I could buy that then Beau Tochs talks about the other Snow Globe.  I think I want that one instead.  Damn I got to stop hanging around a Christmas geek’s site!

I saw the snow globe one with everybody on the inside too.  I stood there thinking how cool it would be to have, but I saw it at Meijers at 2:00AM.  I’d love to have it too, but with my luck here it would get stolen.

Looks like Sears might have something similar with a snowglobe that has Santa, a Christmas tree, and Frosty all inside of it and it’s advertised as $50 off the normal price, but when you click on the link for it you get a message that the product isn’t currently available.

I was wrong - the golldurned thing is actually 8 FEET, not a mere 7!!  IT’S MORE TA LOVE, I TELLS YA!

And Les, I saw the exact one you described over at the Giant food store in town, also selling for $149.

you guys are right into your holidays are’nt ya! - here in australia where apathy rules most people cant be bothered,however there is one little town in the hills of Adelaide;Loberthal,thats a tourist attraction just for goin absolutley crazy in competition to out-do each other in the crazy lights department.
So much so,the Government gives them a limited rebate on thier power bills! sure clogs up the traffic up there for a few weeks..but from the sounds of it this is the norm in the U.S!
