  • Publication number: 20020126506
    Abstract: A hanging mistletoe ornament is disclosed that includes a spherical shell that may be comprised of two interconnected portions. A control unit is mounted in the shell, wherein the control unit is preferentially pre-programmed to include a song. A speaker is connected to the shell and the control unit for playing said song. A motion sensor is connected to the outer surface of the shell and the control unit for generating a signal that is sent to the control unit if motion is detected by the motion sensor, wherein the control unit plays the song in response to the signal from the motion sensor. A lighted display is also connected to the control unit and the outer surface of the shell, wherein the control unit illuminates the lighted display in response to the signal from the motion sensor.
