A festive couple have decorated their front garden with dozens of donated inflatables they receive from strangers - worth approximately £4,850 ($6,000). RaeShanda and LaShondra Lias-Lockhart began receiving the inflatables last Halloween last year after they posted videos of their decorated home on TikTok. The couple's followers now send them decorations at every big holiday including Halloween last, Thanksgiving and Christmas. This Christmas, more than 25 colourful inflatables have taken over the couple's front garden in Jeffersonville, Indiana, USA, including Santas, snowmen, and all sorts of animals. Videos show LaShondra, a minister and property manager, happily decorating her front garden with the inflatable gifts. Besides inflatables, the couple have also received around 200 decorations, such as Christmas tree ornaments. They now have so many that they have had to rent storage space to store them between holidays RaeShanda, 41, and LaShondra, 45, spent more than two weeks putting up the decorations and have become local celebrities due to the masses of decorations. The couple's fans are egged on by the videos posted to their accounts, which the couple make to show appreciation for the gifts, which can be worth up to £160 ($200) each. RaeShanda, the owner of a clothing store, said: "They started sending inflatables when they saw how much fun my wife had decorating the house last Halloween. "It takes weeks to get them just right for Christmas. They were gifts from around the country so we wanted to let everyone know we appreciate them. "Our neighbors are all retired and just love seeing us in the yard decorating as sadly many of them can no longer decorate like they use to. "Everyone in the town knows about the inflatables and the numerous trips we make to the post office every week to pick up 100s of packages. "People locally drive by to see them. "We love them [our followers] so much. In less than two years we have become like a big family. "Christmas is a time to be with family and celebrating the ones you love. The inflatables are a reminder that we’re not alone in the world. "These strangers have become our family and it’s just one big party for Jesus!"
