When I was a kid, plenty of people had these by their front step, but you don't see them very often now.

Lawn jockey right? That's a southern thing, I think stuff like that is cute and fun....harmless.
I grew up fairly far north, and I remember seeing a number of them when walking to school or doing my paper route.
My mother is addicted to those silly geese.
Every holiday/season/day of the week, she has a new outfit for it. We make fun of her for it, but it makes her happy so who cares
Probably an empty nester fulfillment.

Eating candy in excessive amounts isn’t wrong? Cavities diabetes and obesity isn’t wrong? Costumes (which adults imitate in sexual indecent manner) isn’t wrong?
Certainly, all three of those scenarios are wrong, but they're also pointing out extremes. Any celebration taken to the maximum is wrong, including those that decorate their homes with expensive Christmas decorations and lights. If you don't live in North America, it's almost impossible to understand this innocent children's celebration, and I don't expect those around the world to get it anyway.

Don't worry everyone makes fun my goose too, I think it's hilarious....the 6'1 230lb former collegiate wrestler with his porch goose which is why the girl got it for me haha. I love animals, I actually used to have geese when i lived on my farm after college and they would terrorize and terrify everyone but would come running up to me top speed and put their wings out for a group hug whenever they saw me come outside. They actually made really good flock protectors, they were big, mean and aggressive to anything and anyone that didn't belong there.
I agree, you can find bad in anything if you really want to but why not instead see it as something joyous? It's what you make of it....especially for kids, it can be innocent and wholesome if that's what you make of it just like most things in life.
