Most of the pumpkins I am seeing are decaying and rotted. Do you dislike seeing pumpkins in that condition?
Yes, it's not decorative. It's ugly.

It's possible some people are saving them for their compost piles, but I don't understand why they didn't remove decomposing pumpkins from the porch when they set up their Christmas displays. Do you know why people have rotted pumpkins on their porches in January?
Yes, and I will explain in Comments.
