Halloween 2011 Continues

[dark master]

I'm with you guys, I keep a lil something out all year long to remind me and make me smile.

yi same here lillith i keep ornaments out all year too,keeps the spirit alive,

I take all of my decorations down on November 1st. However, I have a little Sam figure that stays out all year long--I switch him back and forth from his pumpkin face to his masked face. And I'm almost always in the mood for a good scary movie. I may have calmed down since the 1st but there is always a tiny flickering Halloween light inside me that grow brighter and bigger with each passing month until the big day comes back.

Exactly that lil flame inside keeps burning. This place helps keep us in the mood too.

Those Sam figures are awesome. I'm going to try & get one ready for Halloween 2012.

As I sit here typing, my Jack Skellington tealight holder shines bright!

You're right Lillith, this site helps us all with our Halloween blues!

[Pumpkin56]

I agree Lillith. This is actually a lovely place for me to come when I'm starting to feel Halloween. Everyone I know thinks I'm insane for even thinking about it anytime other than October. It's nice to be amongst fellow Pumpkinheads whenever I want to talk Halloween

[Lillith]

Oh god tell me about it, the looks I get! But my family and friends are used to me even if they don't all agree with my eccentricities. haha

[Pumpkin56]

My family's used to it as well, but more often than not I get an eyeroll, a headshake and tune-out

[Jack Skellington]

I get the same kind of looks too! As long as it makes us happy, screw everyone else!

Tell me Pumpkin56 & Lillith, will you both be posting on here all year round? I sure as hell will be!

LONG LIVE HALLOWEEN!!!

I plan to be, it's my go to place when I'm jonesing for Halloween

[Pumpkin56]

I'll be here too. Haunting can be a lonely business and I like being around 'my people'

[NeverMore]

I'm starting a new tradition. Every October 1st I put out 2 candy bowls and fill em up, one with candy corn, one with mixed regular and peanut M&Ms. Visitors are expected to dig in, I don't indulge... much. This year I re-filled them on the 30th. While the candy corn is gone, no one is eating the M&Ms, so until that bowl is completely empty, the Halloween decorations stay up. If my friends get tired of the decorations they better start munching.

[Jack Skellington]

That's great Pumpkin56 & Lillith!

NeverMore, that's a great idea! Keep us updated on how it's going! Much gone yet?

This is actually a great time of year to purchase remaindered Halloween decorations, as I'm sure you all know. Last night at Kroger, I got a sweet little figurine for half-price (sorry, I don't know how to post photos). But it is a little bear in a witch costume, holding a pet bat on its hand. I just couldn't resist it.

[Pumpkin56]

I may have to visit Target tonight. They had a lot of Halloween things that I liked but didn't care to pay full price for. Hopefully it's still out. Last weekend however, I could see that they were already clearing the Halloween stuff for Christmas

[Murfreesboro]

Sometimes stores will put the left-over stuff in bins elsewhere in the store. If you don't see it out, ask a clerk.
