iI wonder if the makers of spyro will make a halloween game of spyro and the next would be a chrismas game of spyro and the halloween game of spyro is when spyro sparx and cynder defeats scrach and sniff from trying to make halloween monsters from ruleing the the world and they make halloween come forever and the chrismas game of spyro is when spyro sparx and cynder try to make winter and chrismas come sooner but when they use one of volteers magic spells from his spell books to turn there snow dragons and snow dragonflys come to life but when it work they thoght the could have some fun with them they were evil instend so spyro sparx and cynder have stop of what they made and some of you all might think it would be a stupid idea ever but that matter as much to me
