As delightful as Mary sounds (and I hope she and her NYE buddy are happy together!) I definitely think it’s weird - assuming you don’t live in a university town. Funny weird, but weird. The fact that Mary was in your garden and was dressed festively makes it less slightly less strange - everyone has a different approach to Christmas decorations after all. But putting an inflatable doll in a bathtub full of cotton wool so you could take photos to entice people to buy this house… SO fucking weird!
