is being in keeping with the neighbours more important than keeping DH happy

[PuffPastryFluff]

We live in a 'naice' street with lovely neighbours. Everyone puts everyone else's bins out, waters each others' frogs, lends out power tools etc. etc. This Christmas a very few neighbours have outside decorations. They're very tasteful, warm white, gently flickering. Think John Lewis rather than Poundland.

DH wants to get a ginormous blow up snowman to put outside. I've said no on the basis that it doesn't fit in with the street and that our status as 'naice' neighbours will be called into question. DH is sad. Although I generally want to keep DH happy because I luvs him and who else is going to bring me cups of tea in bed at the weekend I've put my foot down about the blow up Santa. For context I'm not keen on blow up anything. Inside or out.

AIBU to think the 'needs' of the street are more important than DH's needs even if my cup of tea is at risk?

My close is very similar except the frogs/newts.
I'm trying to think how it would go down here and, as much as no one would be a fan of it, as long as you keep your house tidy/park on your driveway and mow your lawn no one would mind!

It’s not my cup of tea, but I’d prefer to do something my husband would like than keep the neighbours happy. Also, how do you know they don’t all want one?!

I’m surprised he still wants it as he knows, he could compromise

Asda also have some dinosaur lights for sale they're, a string of 8 dinos with Santa hats on. Yes, we have them 😆

Put a selection of blow up farm animals, excluding the sheep of course, substitute a snowman for the farmer.

Get an inflatable frog. If your DH wants a snowman he should have one. The bigger and brighter the better.

Is watering the neighbours frogs like planting pampas grass or flying a pirate flag when camping? Asking for a friend.

I just had to Google the pirate flag reference. I think I have clean Google so it says that it means you can steal it rather than anything else.
So no it's not.

I live in one of those neighbourhoods but we are a bit hit or miss on the decorations front. Tasteful warm white lights compete with blinking multicoloured. But on the most expensive street, facing the park, are a blow up snowman and Santa halfway up the side of the house. It looks great!
