via webcam and other techy stuff, including a very long pointy stick for sweeping back their curtains, digitally capture the neighbour’s expensive & ostentatious festive tree from several angles, turn it into a hologram and enlarge it x 10, then project it onto a space in front of the window that shines straight back at the neighbour’s house.

it doesn’t really matter if the image is fuzzy just as long as you backlight it with bright sparkly blinkin’ lights and fabulous looking presents at the base…

does this "techy stuff" include a black pyjama suit, glass cutters, and some tranquiliser-laced steak for their inquisitive dog? I think that's the best way to get a *really* realistic hologram.

The stick could have a magnet at the end of it. Hopefully the curtains are hung with metal loops or hooks or whatever one hangs curtains with.
