Another said, currently losing my mind because that is not Buddy. Some are arguing that it's not a Ristmas decoration, it's a Halloween decoration. Another said I'd buy him and put him in a haunted house. The home Depot product listing says it collapses for easy storage and adds the right holiday touch to your indoor space. If two hundred bucks is a little much for you. They do sell an inflatable buddy for thirty four to ninety eight. That one holds a sign reading Santa OMG, I know him. Good news.
