A father has left his neighbors 'laughing their heads off' after accidentally ordering a 25-foot inflatable Santa.
Matty James, 32, believed he had purchased a eight foot blow-up Father Christmas from eBay - only for the festive whopper to turn out to be 25 feet instead.
The nightclub owner, from Southport, Merseyside, spent $130 on the inflatable decoration in the hope of sprucing out the outside of his home for the festive season, but was left open-mouthed when the flaccid St Nick was blown up earlier this month.

Looks like a good deal to me.
Tee hee hee, flaccid. There’s a pill for that now.
I have a neighbor who has one of those...and about three dozen smaller ones just like it.
To each his own...
I notice people who buy these inflatable decorations don’t put them up the next year. Do they use a lot of electricity?
They don’t store well during off-season (easily punctured).
No, it was ebay
Theyre listed at around $650.00 right now so yeah if he paid that price.
I’ve noticed a lot of private dwelling in England look like this one, bland, plain, stripped of individual flourishes.
Does England have it’s own version of Government Housing i.e.
The Projects?
Santa is on a bender!
My brother will be getting one of these for Christmas.
I want one!
Not to dampen his Christmas spirit, but this may be proof some people do have too much disposable income...If its England I guess I’ll give him a pass since he couldn’t spend the money on a gun and ammo...
But when they’re not inflated during the day, it looks like garbage all over your lawn. I hate inflatable decorations.
Totally old school here, C7s mostly and some C9s.
Inflatables are about as tacky as you can get. Pink plastic flamingos are preferable.
Someone in our neighborhood has some inflatables on their front lawn, and other decorations that don’t even make sense, like a stegosaurus. WTH?
How about an Imperial Walker and a pink Smurf?
Fill it with helium and set it free
Why use a pill?
It was blown up.

That would fit in about as well as anything.
