🎃 Halloween Has Arrived, Boos & Ghouls 🎃

[Niagara]

Here's my wish that all DU'ers have a spooktacular and safe this Halloween/Samhain of 2024.


It was certainly challenging and enjoyable to post a Halloween Countdown. I tried not to overdue it today. 🍂😈👻














This yard display is my creation. It's an old costume placed on an upside down tomato cage. I pin down the tomato cage using anchoring pins for landscaping fabric.

1. Yay! Best one yet!

Thank you, Niagara, and a very Happy Halloween to you!

[Niagara]

6. You're welcome, Lucky!

A Happy Halloween to you too!!

[True Dough]

2. Well done, Niagara!

It's 55 days until Christmas. Will you begin that countdown tomorrow?

[Niagara]

7. Thank you, True.

Nope, not me.

[True Dough]

13. Let me know if you reconsider.

The transition from Hallow Queen to Christmas Carol would be glorious!

[Niagara]

23. Hahaha!

You could do a 12 days of Christmas, True!

[True Dough]

28. Do you have any idea

how much I would turn people off, Niagara? There would surely be a bunch of DUers rushing to put "Christmas" in as an auto-trash keyword.

[Niagara]

36. I'm not so sure about that, True

It's like 12 days, how bad can it be?

10. They were taking down the Halloween stuff and putting up the Christmas stuff in my local Kroger yesterday.

[True Dough]

12. I've been seeing Christmas-related candy and decorations

starting to pop up here and there. There can never be enough commercialization!

19. A sports columnist had a theory

The Universal Theory of Creep.
Things start getting earlier and earlier to get out in front of the competition. Cars almost a year before the actual year. Xmas and other Holiday stuff out months early. Fashion for seasons on the racks 6 months before the season. etc.

There was one person who noted that his store had a certain Jewish holiday food item that had its sell by date was a month before the holiday.

Here in Munich the Lebkuchen (gingerbread cookies) hit the stores early Sept. Halloween isn't as big so the Xmas chocolate gauntlets to get to the cash registers have been in place for over a month.

5. Why are the door knobs on the hinge side?

In the mid-century style painting. That's really creepy.

[Niagara]

11. Beats me, nuxvomica.
