Self-transforming ones any time soon? How about a multipack inflatable decoration which inflates and deflates based on the time of year? |

“What once was orange now is red.
What once was black is green.
Where once the zombies fought and bled,
Is now a winter scene. |
|

My ornaments have morphed today,
Responding to the season,
A skeleton is now so fat,
It begs belief and reason. |
|
| |
I want my stuff to stay inert.
So when I check the attic,
The stuff inside is just the same
And nothing’s automatic. |
|

Leave my Halloween alone.
A holiday unique and lone.
All the others owing life
To bible stories and human strife. |

[a1] Yes, definitely idealized as a young trick-or-treater. That was before I got the back story of witch-burning and crowds of villagers with torches. I didn’t have the religious background to relate any bloody history to the ghosts and ghoulies and campfire stories. I prefer to keep it that way, with a Halloween no one owns. Delusional? That’s OK by me, just give me more candy corn. |

I think what's needed is a scary nativity scene, with the three wise men presenting the traditional gifts of a carved pumpkin, a shamrock, and an Easter bunny while the midsummer solstice sun shines through the window and the haze of firecracker smoke to illuminate, only on one day a year, the Valentine's card pinned to the wall |

[hippo] there should be some kind of rotating lens affair so the sun shines down at midsummer sunrise angle all day every day. Better still have a battery powered LED sunrise. Much better than that awkward reality business. |

Also have one of those rfid credit card payment points set up beside it so you can tap to spend money whenever you want (i.e. all the time). |

[hippo] How inaccurate panoramas prevent observance. I’m with it. 3 wise ghoulies ride up on spiders and roaches. Do not look at the kid in the rocker. Let there be a Steven King bizarro manger scene and an angelic pollyanna Halloween rather than moshing all the holidays together. |
