There was a woman we knew who always had such an elaborate setup in front of her house. A lot of things that lit up, and fancy decorations laid out on a table surrounding all the candy. It was always themed, too - sometimes skeletons, sometimes ghosts and the like, sometimes monsters from those old movies. Things that would get a child's attention, to be looked at and played with.
Once your attention was there, she or her daughter would sneak up and tap you on the shoulder. Just a gentle thing, but more than enough to ensure that you jumped half a mild.
[....... Sounds like something all of his friends would be into.]
She sounds like fun. I'm sure I know a number of people who would enjoy doing that exact set up, actually, and so I think I'll keep the idea to myself... lest I become the recipient of their schemes.
Part of it is due to having no one to celebrate with, yes; part of it is because I rather enjoy the paycheck that comes with working through the holidays.
Well, there goes my invitation! I do understand though. I have a fair amount of work throughout holiday months like this one, so it's hard to find time to do anything. Effort is always repaid tenfold.
[Goro's going to be treating his friends so nicely when things settle down? He's going to be treating them so well.]
Don't worry about it too much; I'm fairly sure at least one of the people I've gotten to know better through this godforsaken app will insist that I do something with him during the coming season, so I doubt I'll be alone this year.

I thought not. Do you find yourself lacking the social circle necessary for any sort of proper celebration?
