and too early for me but I've been seeing a lot of Halloween and Christmas items for sale lately. Today I am sharing the Jack O'Lanterns and Ghosts on display outside one of our supermarkets.
I am one of the baa-humbugs who doesn't decorate for Halloween. I was always scared of those Halloween movies, any horror movie, and wouldn't watch them, this after I moved here. I grew up not knowing anything about Halloween. It just wasn't celebrated in my neck of the woods and I lived in my own little glass bubble. Nowadays it is and perhaps our blogging friends in other regions around the world can tell us more.
When our son was young, I used to make an effort, baking and decorating Halloween-shaped cookies for him, especially when his friends came over. I helped carve a pumpkin or two.
I put together a costume for him to go out on Halloween, that was pitifully tame compared to some that mother's made their kids, but he enjoyed them.
I do enjoy going around the neighborhood and seeing how people decorate their homes and front gardens, and taking photos. Many of those have made it on my blog.
No, I didn't buy any of these. Just looked and took photos.
Boo to you from our Crew.
Enjoy your Thursday and thanks for stopping by.
We don't celebrate Halloween, but we do decorate for fall. Halloween is just too dark, and I don't feel that darkness should be celebrated. At least not by me. We do give out candy to the trick-or-treaters, do you? This display is done well. And the ghosts don't look scary, but kind of cute.
ReplyDeleteWe don’t celebrate Halloween either; there isn't much going on around here. You rarely see a carved pumpkin, and children in costumes are only found at kindergarten or school.
ReplyDeleteYou do see some items for sale in shops, or cookies at the bakery, but we don't watch any movies—in my opinion, you don't have to join in on everything.
We don't get any kids ringing the doorbell to collect candy, either.
Those are great ceramic pumpkins; I always stop to look when I see things like that!

They are getting in early it seems Denise.
ReplyDeleteIt's too early for me to see these things in the stores too. I used to decorate for Halloween but I haven't in several years. Now it's purely a fall theme.
ReplyDeleteIt has gotten so much popular, the Halloween decorating! People go all out. For me, I want to just celebrate Autumn. I like to buy pretty pumpkins and place them on my steps but they are not carved at all! I just leave them as they are! I find colorful leaves and place them weighed down by the pumpkins and replace them when they fade.Scary things are not for me either! Yet, we must be in the minority from looking at all the Halloween decor.
