BOULDER, Colorado – Police, firefighters and paramedics rushed to a home in a Colorado neighborhood earlier this week after neighbors reported seeing a man hanging from the roof of the home.
When authorities arrived, they discovered that the "man hanging from the roof" was all part of a family's elaborate Christmas decorations.

"I saw everybody getting out of their vehicles, and then the police officer drove up, followed by the paramedics," Chris Olson, the owner of the home, told KDVR-TV.
Olson said he got the idea for the dummy after he opened a box of tangled lights. Rather than untangle the lights, he put the Clark Griswold-esque mannequin up.
"My wife really didn't want me to do it this year, but I said no it's an Olson tradition," Olson told KDVR-TV. "My dad was a big practical joker, so I got a little bit of that rolled into me."
He has no intention to take down the lights.
