11 Clever Christmas Decorations Even A Grinch Would Love

'Tis the season, right? As the song says, we need to start decking those halls. But for every round of "Fa-la-la-la-la," there is always that one person insisting that "Batman smells" — which is pretty likely, actually. I mean he's probably working up a sweat and that black kevlar can't possibly be very breathable. I mean, it's more likely than Robin laying an egg, right? 

So in the spirit of Joker taking ballet, here are some examples of people who went their own way with the Christmas decorations, with very fun and clever results.

1. Putting out fires.

This firefighter got creative with his lighting, while also being a subtle reminder about fire safety this holiday season.

2. "Have I possibly gone daffy?"

The Nightmare Before Christmas visited this house, and it's quite possibly the only one in the neighborhood that can get away with putting their decorations up before Halloween.

"They've got electric lights on strings."

I love this so much, that I wanted to show some of the details. I adore the monster wreath. 

3. Another creative reuse of Halloween decor.

This house had a great Halloween display, so why mess with what works? By swapping the pumpkins for trees and giving Santa hats to the faces, it's magically turned into a Christmas display!

4. A clever alternative Christmas tree.

When lit up, you can barely tell that this tree is actually made of Mountain Dew cans.

5. His Noodliest. 

The best part of this Flying Spaghetti Moster display is how he seems to float above the house, tethered to nothing. 

6. When you'll never be able to compete with the neighbors anyway...

7. Always be careful when putting up those lights.

This dummy should have had a spotter to hold his ladder.

8. Those terrible piggies!

This Angry Birds-themed display even includes a slingshot, which knocks down piggies and scores points at the press of a button. 

9. The biggest Christmas tree.

This optical illusion makes it seem like your tree is so tall that it has broken through your roof!

10. Waka-waka!

Madrid had this awesome Pac-Man tree. I want an awesome Pac-Man tree!

11. I totally decorated, I swear!

It's just that the Grinch stole all my lights!
