Sometimes ordering things online isn't the way to go. A man in England recently found that out after ordering some Christmas decorations off of eBay.

Matty James, 32, believed he had purchased a eight foot blow-up Santa from eBay to put in his yard. He quickly realized the festive blow-up turned out to be 25 feet instead.  James spent $130 on the inflatable decoration for Christmas, but was left stunned when ole' St Nick was blown up earlier this month.

The supersized Santa,  that blocked his living room and bedroom windows, has been temporarily taken down for fear that it may take off in strong winds  - but James is hoping it can go back up in time for Christmas.

Apparently, James was expecting Santa to be about 8 feet tall. He said he knew something was up when Santa kept growing and growing. Obviously, his house has had a lot of attention due to the massive Father Christmas.

Read more info and see some other pics of the HUGE Santa here.  I'll say this, there's NO way Santa Claus will miss his house this year. HA! This will make for a great story within his family. Maybe it'll become a tradition!
