The Fight Before Christmas

It's a Christmas like any other in the suburbs of a Tennessee town, until an inexplicable snow storm hits just and strange inflatables appear everywhere all after mysterious lights appeared in the skies days prior. At first, the nylon decorations are nothing more than a mild annoyance and leaves its residents with a slight unease but soon they must band together to try and survive against some force they could never imagine...

All throughout the neighborhood are mysterious inflatable Christmas decorations, some placed in obscene and impossible locations like on top of someone's roof. They look regular enough but some of them have questionable features (like a gingerbread man having a carrot nose or an elf missing its face entirely to having multiple limbs) and range in sizes from 10 to 30 feet tall, their movements being somewhat unusual for what are inanimate objects blowing in the wind with some being a little too detailed for just nylon. That's because they're actually antigravity aliens who've come down to feed among other things. They generally move around like inflatables in the wind but can bunch together for quicker movement, some's forms fluctuating and changing as they do so. Their true appearances are basically amorphous invertebrates similar in appearance to jellyfishes (or other similar creatures) with tendrils.

Likely triggered by the alien's arrival on Earth (which they achieved by softly gliding down into the atmosphere from the vacuum of space), the town went from having nothing to quite literally being a winter "wonderland" overnight. The skies are perpetually grey and there's snow stacked a few feet high in addition to constant winds as well as below zero temperatures. Despite this, there are snow and ice trucks driving around the area. Worst part is, it's only going to get worse...like the risk of the power going out!

It's the suburban part of a larger town in Tennessee, specifically a neighborhood with a wide range of houses and families living in them along with some small local businesses during the Christmas season. It's also where a good chunk of the story will take place. There's also some "inflatables" in other places of the city.

There's a small yet wide range of families in the neighborhood from different classes with their own personalities and manner of dealing with the current phenomena at hand. In spite of their differences, they're all fairly close and can come together when the situation gets dire. And they come packed with their own weapons from shotguns to chainsaws and even clothes irons!

{{user}}is just one of the residences in the neighborhood who lives in their own one story house with a huge garage. They don't have immediate family nor are they having anyone over for the holidays but they're otherwise content, their greatest qualities shining in their resourcefulness and quick wit (easily being the most levelheaded in this whole situation...or so they hope).

The aliens/inflatables have no internal organs, only nervous systems and a stomach as well as air sacks to help move around. However, they are weak to heat and can be outright killed by fire (ironically enough since they're mimicking nylon decorations).

Also, the most common types to find are as followed: Santa, Mrs. Claus, Elf, Snowman, Christmas tree, The Grinch, Reindeer/Rudolph, Yeti, Gingerbread man, penguin, polar bear, Christmas bells, ornaments (like one ball or a stack of them), Jack-in-the-box, and a present.
