Two things:

I'm working on writing a Cinderella-ish story, but she keeps insisting she falls in love with her step-mom's second husband (step-dad twice removed?) because the Prince is all mean to her and stuff. Bzuh?

I'm terrified of the neighbor's jerky animatronic reindeer. It turns to look at me when I go by, and stares at me with its two gaps

Cinthee.

You've never watched which movie? Like, any Cinderella movie? How is that even possible?

Heh, wait. ANTagonist or PROtagonist? Because Cinthee is my protagonist. The evil stepmother doesn't have a name yet.

Heh, my dad has one of those animatronic reindeer on his front lawn and you can see it swinging its head back and forth through the sheer white curtains of the living room. Fortunately, its back is to the window, which lessens the creepiness factor a bit.

We have a street in a town nearby where the Village every winter lines the entire main road through the town with those white glowing reindeer--not the animatronic ones, though. Still, there are at least 2 or 3 and sometimes 5 or 6 reindeer in front of every house and business, and the field next to their village hall is covered with them. They have big signs saying "Reindeer Lane" at either end. It gets a little creepy when they all start falling over and no one bothers to pick them up, or portions of a deer burn out while the rest of it is still glowing.

Heh, maybe the sign should say "Reindeer Graveyard" instead. Hey, that would make it work for Christmas and Halloween! Multitasking!

I'm not fond of animatronic things in general. Christmas decorations don't really mean anything to me, since I don't celebrate. My town does put up those white twinkle lights, which makes it look much prettier. I wish they would just leave them up year round, but I guess that's not very energy efficient.
