I love going in the stores. Some items they sell are overly gory for my tastes. I enjoy spooky stuff for Halloween, but not disturbing and violent, if that makes any sense. There's far too much of that in the real world, in my opinion.
Sorry for my soapbox...I do love decorations and costumes though!
Same here, on all counts. Spooky, yes ... gory, no.
Costumes, yes! When I was in my 20s, my favorite costume was to dress as Harpo Marx and play him legit---no talking. I had a large raincoat with the extra pockets inside, a wig, a beat-up top hat, the horn, the whole schmeer. When going to a party, I would put several soda labels in my pocket: a label from a ginger ale bottle, a Coke logo cut out of a box, etc. Then when I stepped up to the bar I could "order" a soda. The really fun part was that most everyone treated me as though I really were Harpo!
