This festival is growing on me. I will explore on these Halloween decorated houses this year.

How we would love to see that ugly name removed from a couple of big buildings. Orange, it is his color.

Moving with Mitchell said...

I've been thinking of carving a jack-o-lantern this year... for the 4 kids that might see it. And because I love doing it.

Is that you in the last shot? I love the new chin strip!

Jamie Ghione said...

Some good ones. The cat in the car is funny. I wish the Trump ones were true!

Mistress Maddie said...

Thanks you Debs!!!! These were so funny, and Halloween is my favorite holiday!!! Loved the Trump Tower into a Spirit Halloween shop!!!! He'd cringe lmao!!!!!

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

XOXO

baili said...

Marie Smith said...

So true about the stores and the seasonal decorations!

Boud said...

Halloween madness!

Busy Bee Suz said...

I've never been to A Spirit Store before. I lol'd at the removing shelves from coffin book cases! 😜😜😜

I'd put my money on the suburban moms in that battle.

Leanna said...

Halloween Spirit opened here in town a month ago and I was in 7th heaven. I love it!

e said...

The Goths vs Suburban Moms arm wrestling made me guffaw!
I have a cousin who fits the category overly well. They even have a Halloween Tree in their living room decorated for the season. True believers!

Mike said...

I saw a meme about Walmart putting out Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas stuff all at the same time.

Parnassus said...

Hello Debra, Don't shop before Halloween and pay $$$$. Shop after and save for next year. My greatest coup was 99% off (do they have CVS in Canada?)--I filled the car to bulging for only $5, and it was all good stuff-no little girl smiling witches or anything nauseating like that!

I envy you in the northern hemisphere. We are in spring and even though they are trying to get the Halloween festivities going here. They’re just not right. For those that know anyways
I feel the hlowwen spirit when our autumn comes, but everyone else around me thinks I’m an idiot because to them it’s in the wrong time of year.
The struggle is real

love love LOVE the Trump Tower one!!!

Old Lurker said...

That is not an emotional support pumpkin. It is a codependent enabler pumpkin.

Tundra Bunny said...

IMHO, *rump Tower should be turned into a Dollar Store for that lasting salt-in-the-wound effect for the orange ass-monkey & his minions....

Is that last photo a picture of your Halloween costume this year?!

Joanne Noragon said...

I have a workout instructor who is every meme up there.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Tundra Bunny -- No, that's how I look every day. Darn chin hairs as we get older!

Kirk said...

Love the arm wrestling match, and nice to see Dr. Frank-N-Furter is gainfully employed.

The Captain said...

Our household is definitely in the 'Little Miss' category.

yellowdoggranny said...

one of the things I am pissed off about living in the apts..no one will decorate or allow trick or treaters..they killed my buzz 17 year ago.

Lady M said...

Hee hee - it is not hoarding if it is Halloween stuff.

Janie Junebug said...

Poor, poor Donald. How he suffers during the Halloween witch hunt. It will be over before he knows it when he's burned at the stake. During Sept the Christmas goods were out at Costco and then at Lowe's, side-by-side, with the Halloween decorations. Can't we please have one holiday at a time?

Love,
Janie

Guillaume said...

All true. All so very me.

Richard said...

I wonder what it is about this Halloween time. It is one of the times when even christians participate. I like the pumpkins. It is a good holiday. Let us please keep it as pagan as possible.
Before we know it, it will be Jesus Christmas again.

G. B. Miller said...

Don't worry, The Donald will return to give everyone a fright that Halloween could never give you.

Like the meme says, it's never hoarding when it's Halloween.

The Blog Fodder said...

Went looking for a pirate hat and stuffed parrot today. Found the hat. We have a solitary decoration hanging outside and will carve a pumpkin so the kids that come to the door can see it. I want to buy masks just to scare the crap out of the dog.

Most Aussie Pagans and Druids flip the festival calendar to fit the reversed seasons so you'd probly find others who know when the energy is right for Halloween. Tina in West Oz
