Holiday Flags

Holiday flags have become a popular way to express seasonal cheer in the United States. This phenomenon has its roots in the yuppie movement of the mid 1980s, when busy nuclear families needed a quick and easy way to decorate without spending too much time on the project. As time progressed, families all over the nation began to catch on to the trend and it become common to see large polyester Santas, Easter Bunnies and witches waving in the wind from poles attached to porches or on lawns and in gardens.

Some of the most frequently seen holiday flags include:

  • Christmas
  • Easter
  • Halloween
  • Thanksgiving
  • Fourth of July
  • President's Day
  • Memorial Day
  • Veteran's Day
  • Valentine's Day

Holiday Flags for the Lawn and Garden

In between holidays, decorative and artistic flags in both mini and large sizes are frequent decorating accents for the outdoors. Folk art, such as the works produced by contemporary artist Warren Kimble, are popular for lawns. Warren Kimble's work and other examples of folk art add a touch of comfort and familiarity to today's look-alike homes in planned subdivisions. Holiday and artistic flags can be changed to match the colors of the leaves in the various seasons, to match the paint on a house or to complement the curtains in a window.
