20 Things To Do Before Halloween
Halloween is coming at us full throttle. I love seeing those Halloween stores on every corner -- around this time of year they're more prevalent than Starbucks, so it would seem at least. Some of you may have already figured out your Halloween costume. But I'm sure most of us lag until the very last second to decide. Right? ;]
I want to get in the Halloween spirit. I've already watched The Nightmare Before Christmas twice. I'm not sure what to do for Halloween. I always figure something out last minute. I hope inspiration hits. I think it will. We are about to get into the dark, dirty center of Halloween. I was psyched to walk by a house last night & see headstones all over the lawn. No, it wasn't a horrible real life scenario of Hannibal, just Halloween decorations! In order to really get festive -- I mean really -- I made a list. Oh yes I did because I love lists. Here's 20 things to do before Halloween passes! It's never too late to get in the spirit! BOoo00oOOO!

I really enjoy this time of year. I really do. The nights become chilly & you finally get to bust out your fall/winter sweaters. It's the beginning! Let's celebrate. Cheers to skulls & bones & stitches & haunted houses & zombies. Can you cross off everything from the 20 things to do before Halloween list? What are you most excited about for Halloween. :]
Stay in touch, y'all.

Me too. I can't wait to carve my pumpkins terribly hehehe :]
DeleteThis is a really cool post you made to get in a really festival mood! :)
ReplyDeleteI so wish that in Latvia we would celebrate Halloween, but barely anybody recognizes this festivity, which makes me a bit sad as I think it has so much room and potential for so much fun!

Yep, here in America it's a pretty big deal. Many decorate in some way or celebrate or just participate. :]
DeleteThanks, now I know what to do, because Halloween is in Germany not that popular :)

Hocus Pocus and candies are my favorite things about Halloween. I feel like no matter how old I get, it will be something I will always look forward to. Love the list, Carmen.

Great list, that will definitely get me in the Halloween spirit! I actually love visiting cemeteries. I find them peaceful and it's interesting to read the really old headstones.
ReplyDeleteExactly. It's not spooky to me....unless I'm alone in the middle of the night. Hehe.
DeleteOooh, I need to watch Hocus Pocus soon. It's an annual must-do!

What a fun list! I had totally forgotten about the movie Hocus Pocus until you mentioned it. We're planning on watching The Nightmare Before Christmas, drinking cider, and eating homemade spice donuts on Halloween.
