This is the limit of what I'm prepared to do for #Halloween: felt pumpkins & mushrooms on a string, 1 book of vampire stories (Somadeva's Vetala Panchavimshati), 1 lovingly-drawn paper pumpkin to stick on the front door so that children know they can knock & ask for sweets. And that was enough for the curmudgeon in my life to roll his eyes... The seasonal fruit & veg are there... because they're in season 😁
TEArificbooks I warned my hubby when we got married, I am crazy for holidays and I go full Griswald mode for everyone of the them especially Halloween and Christmas. And he is expected to participate with a smile on his face. Halloween is big for us. We have a block party. He has to man the grill - we give out chili dogs and full size candy bar, books, drinks, and more. We are the house the kids will always remember and tell their kids about 5mo
Dilara @TEArificbooks So, I had to google Griswald... I saw a video with a squirrel loose in a house at Christmas. It looked mad 😅 5mo
TEArificbooks @dilara one of the best Christmas movies ever, the older I get the funnier it gets. Watch the whole thing, it is a family favorite. I also love National Lampoons Vegas Vacation. The Griswald reference was in regards to how extreme he decorates and celebrates. My neighborhood holds a Christmas decorating contest every year, they have a “Griswald” award category. 5mo
