no no for a ghost

one of the first rules of ghostliness is to be invisible
if you have to be seen, make it a glimpse of a blip or a flash
even an orb would be too solid

the little ghost decided he wanted to dress up for Christmas
his parents saw him walking through the house and had to re-do him
he was a walking talking overdecorated entity

something older ghosts know is an enormous no-no
