Hey, Cad. Why the hyphen in 'second favorite'?

It's called a compound adjective. More here:

I have recently joined a couple of Christmas boards. So far this is my favorite. Lot more friendlier people. But, I decorate for every holiday.

I love Thanksgiving, don't get me wrong. But after Halloween, I will be in the Santasclaus.com forums. Look for me there.

Why are we pointing out grammatical errors in posts? Haven't we ever heard of Typos? Anyway, who cares? Aren't we all here to spend time with a great bunch of folks and talk about the Holiday we all love? It really shouldn't matter to any of us whether a person's posts would hold up under "Hodges' Harbrace College Handbook" scrutiny.

I don't go as crazy with the christmas decorations as I do with Halloween. I have three very large plastic bins for Halloween and only one for Christmas. 4ft. Tree, lights and ornaments (wooden), tinsel, and a few christmas props. But nothing as involved as Halloween. OH! And some green plastic garland that looses it's strands, much like the tree that looses it's needles in "It's a Charlie Brown Christmas". Touch it & it crumbles.

I prefer to keep Christmas as a traditional/religeous observation. Nothing too extravagant. Thanksgiving is always the "Lull" between the two. But none the less in "frantic preparations of".

The rest are just "Novelty T-shirt" days. St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, Talk like a Pirate Day... AArrrh!

Now, if someone can come up with a cardiac cresh that pops up the infant Jesus in a manger, and blows fog, hay, and rig up a strobe light, all to the tune of a rockin' version of "Silent Night"... I might go for that.

So who's going to be sticking around our spooky little town after Halloween? Guess I'll be doing a lot of talking with myself

Cadaverino · Post by **Cadaverino** » Sat Oct 13, 2007 3:18 am

I'll be here. I live in Halloweentown 365 days a year. And it's a wonderful place to live.

Oh Cadaverino, you sweet soul, glad to hear you're gonna stick around, I already talk to myself to much as it is.

I enjoy Thanksgiving for three reasons. 1. Football. 2. Turkey. 3. My crazy family all in one house. It's a hoot! The only reason I enjoy Christmas anymore is because of my baby cousins and godson. For the longest time I couldn't handle Christmas. It was my Dad's favorite holiday and when he passed away, I just couldn't do it. I couldn't handle it. I'm slowly learning to deal though and I use Christmastime as a time to honor my Dad's memory.

The holidays are always tougher when a close relative passes on. When my grandpa passed away, the chair he usually sits in was empty. He usually brought a live pointsettia, and I took over the tradition he had for years & years.

Then my grandmother passed, and it seems our family was shrinking. Once I was discharged from the Navy, and my other grandmother died a few weeks afterwards. I didn't even get a chance to see her after I got out.

My remaing grandfather just passed this June. He was 100 years of existance. All I can think of was what it was like to live way back when there was so little technology. And right up to todays modern world. It must of been exciting to see everything from the horse & buggy, to the space shuttle and magnetic levitated trains.
