I wanted to mention also that a couple of houses down the street have done extremely well, going all out and plastering the outsides of their houses with lots of decorations, pumpkins, goblins, witches and lights, and the like. I don't know these people, have no idea who they are, but I do know that they certainly must be the very GOOD PEOPLE we hear about, and my hat's off ta them. These are people who seem to do the most decorating for Halloween, which, you know, is really good and stuff.

Hold on, it's barely the middle of October.

Halloween season? Isn't it only one night of dressing-up and having fun with the kids?

Now I know in these frenzied, unhappy times Christmas tends to come earlier every year with the TV adverts and men in Santa suits and so-on... but Halloween?

Is this odd over-celebration just an American thing, or world-wide?

:confused:

These people down my street just put up the most amazing halloween decorations I have EVER seen.
They have a graveyard with zombies and ghosts,they have the whole house lit up with orange and blue highlights,they have a witch in the window and a giant spider coming out of their chimney.
Words just do not do them justice-this would win an award if there was such a thing.

Halloween propaganda started in the 2nd week of September.
I started seeing Christmas stuff 2 weeks ago.

Well HELLO there! You pretty cat.

I have seen a few houses with some real nice stuff...there is one a few blocks away and they have the outside of the house lined with lit carved foam jack-o-lanterns...that alone looks expensive to do, but it's very classy and pretty looking.....

I tell everyone that if we ever get outta debt-I am going all out for halloween.
I want,like the people up the street,a graveyard in my front yard,I want ghosties in the trees and all kinds of icky giant bugs.
Skeletons hanging from nooses with little signs that say why they were hanged.
I want to trick out the inside of my house with creepy music and lights and scary things that go bump in the night,so that when the trick-or-treaters come,they have a haunted house tour.
That's just a short version of what I want.

Oh my goodness! I just discovered that my favorite Halloween attraction is doing its FINAL RUN this year, and I am simply speechless. But here is their website...

Oh my goodness

http://www.hauntinggrounds.org/


They won't be doing their haunt after this year, but they are maintaining the site so people can come and look and see what all the hubbub was about. They put some animated gifs up on the site here and there, so you can see what some of their effects look like moving.

I am so going to miss this thing!!!!! Truly a first-class haunted attraction.

I wish I could say I love this time of year. We dont really do anything here, unless your under 12 yrs old. :)

There might be something happening around here, but would have to check out the internet for that. Too lazy right now haha.

But if there was something happening , im sure I would enjoy it.
