There are folks who enjoy decorating for the holiday season, then there are those who truly go all out. Still, there are very few people, myself included, who can compete with the mysterious folks who set up a massive inflatable Santa Clause in this Texas neighborhood. Truly, it seems as though the size of this decor can’t be fully appreciated unless seen in person.

Still, there’s plenty of video footage and photos that do a rather good job at conveying the scale of the inflatable. That’s because the residents of the neighborhood simply can’t get over this delightful surprise. Because, truly, none of them have any idea how this thing got here.

The inflatable was set up on an empty lot, only adding to the mystery of who could have done it.

“Nobody lives on this lot, so we don’t know who installed Santa,” Marsha Daugherty, one of the residents said. “But isn’t that fun?”
