Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Oh, your tree is up already! My husband has never permitted me to put up the tree until after Thanksgiving. I try to get it up that Saturday, but I'm often too busy. Since Thanksgiving is late, the run up to Christmas will feel shorter.

Driving around after dark this evening, we spotted a few houses with Christmas lights up.

As soon as the giant tree off my balcony loses its leaves I will have a clear view of the charming historic downtown in my new hometown.

If the don't decorate I'd be shocked.

Oh, I bet they do! How lovely for you to have a clear view of it!

BTW, check the Martinmas/Old Halloween thread I started last year (it's today). It's a bigger deal in Germany than I'd realized, and it does have similarities to Halloween.
