Sadly, Diorama Lady didn&#8217;t change anything from last year&#8217;s Fourth of July Diorama. Still, this installment is always one of her best, and I always enjoy the trans-gender Uncle Sam.

<p>If I am viewing this diorama correctly, a Hasidic Leprechaun has chanced upon a pot of gold. The girl in the green Dr. Seuss hat, (apparently returning from a rave), is engaging him in conversation, in hopes of distracting him and taking the gold.</p>
<p>Meanwhile HUGE shamrock leaves are falling everwhere. It&#8217;s gotta be pretty intense for rave-girl, who&#8217;s no doubt messed up on &#8220;E&#8221;. But it definitely says &#8220;<span style="color: #339966;"><strong>Happy St. Patrick&#8217;s Day!</strong></span>&#8220;.</p>

<p>With this Valentine&#8217;s Day diorama, I think the Diorama Lady has shifted from simply portraying a holiday theme to making a political statement.  We are presented with only two figures in this tableaux of love and romance, and I&#8217;m pretty sure they&#8217;re both female.  Rather than embracing each other, they appear anxious and are separated by a giant heart, as if the very nature of their love keeps them separate.  It&#8217;s quite obvious, to me anyway, that the artist is clearly showing her opposition to one of the past election&#8217;s most controversial topics:  California&#8217;s Proposition 8.  That&#8217;s right, the Diorama Lady has tackled the complex subject of same sex marriage.  Of course, it&#8217;s entirely possible that the figure on the right with the page-boy haircut is not a butch lesbian, but is  in fact Clay Aiken.</p>
<p>Oh, and don&#8217;t you just want to grab a big, red Sharpie and put an apostrophe in &#8220;VALENTINES&#8221; for her?</p>

<p>This is the one we all look forward to: The Christmas Diorama. And man oh man, there is so much diorama goodness in this one, I hope I don&#8217;t miss any of it.</p>
<p><strong>LEFT TO RIGHT</strong></p>
<p>The 2008 Christmas Diorama begins with what I am surmising to be Tim Cratchit in some type of Old-World birthing device; or possibly a stretcher &#8211; Bob/his dad possibly paused to take in this scene and set him down.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s up with the Ghost &#8211; Snowman? Or is it an incognito Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man? Below him is two carolers &#8211; the female appears to be using her candles as nunchuks. <strong>Don&#8217;t mess with that Chick</strong>.</p>
<p>Not really sure why there are <em>three</em> Santas&#8230;</p>
<p>The one on the left seems harmless enough.<br />
The one reading the Christmas list looks like he is really scared of the Zombie-Kelly Osbourne Caroler Next to him, and the Knievel Claus on the roof seems to be ready to make it all the way across Snake Canyon. <strong>Hope he is strapped in!</strong></p>
<p>The Staff at Dioramawatch wishes each of you a <strong><em><span style="color: #008000;">Merry</span> <span style="color: #800000;">Christmas</span></em></strong>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s Right. We said it.</p>

<p>This year, we are thankful that gas has dropped to around $2 a gallon, and that most of us still have a roof over our heads. Especially Diorama Lady; who continues to delight, with the Thanksgiving Diorama.</p>
<p>If we are to consider the <em>scale</em> in this moment captured in dolls &amp; decorations to be relative &#8211; than we have got one big-ass turkey to cook this year. It may require a spit.</p>
<p>Its nice to see the tree from <a title="Fall, Baseball, and Wiffle Football" href="http://www.dioramawatch.com/2008/08/19/football-baseball-fall/">Fall, Baseball, and Wiffle Football</a> being reused, as well as the pumpkins from Halloween. The tablecloth appears to be a bit bland, but then, the pilgrims probably didnt get theirs from<br />
Pottery Barn either.</p>

<p>I was going to wait until I took a better picture of this, but who knows when I would get a chance to take one, so here is the <strong>Halloween Costume Diorama</strong>. Everything is actually pretty normal (as far as making a diorama in your living room window goes), but can someone figure out what it says on the red devil&#8217;s costume? And why does he have the head of a lion?</p>
