Nope. I'll run out front and see if it arrived. I had it shipped to work. Wife already has too much evidence that I have a sickness.

The thing about Christmas and Halloween ( for me anyway ) are all the childhood memories associated with them. Halloween was always a good time for me and my friends, creating costumes, getting tons of candy. Scary movies, and parties.
There also those not so good memories of kids we knew biting into a needle in a candy bar or old lady Hicks who sat on her stoop and handed out nickels.

I have all my indoor stuff up and then come Halloween Day, or a couple days before, pending no rain, it all gets moved outside

Then as the evening fades away, it takes no time to get into that Xmas spirit for me :elf:

Yeah, but back then a nickel could buy you a movie ticket, large popcorn (which was smaller than a small today), a coke and a bus ticket home afterwards. Erv was living large. Or have I misjudged your age by a few decades? By the way, here's what I got yesterday:

My mom worked at the Best Theater in Edinboro, PA during the early 70s, so I got to watch movies for free. I saw some really scary films for a kid my age and gullibility, like Night of the Living Dead, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, Willard, The Exorcist, etc. I don't know how much popcorn was, either, cause she'd sneak me a box. Nowadays it wouldn't last two minutes! Those little red and white striped boxes held about five handfuls. The cokes were maybe a dime or so. I never really had any money to spend, so it's hard to remember prices. We used to walk to town and stand behind the Crossroads Dinor (sic) and smell the food cooking.

a kid in my school bit into a carmel apple and caught a razor blade in his upper gums, someone shoved a blade into an apple then carmeled it. My parents never let me eat stuff that wasn't wrapped even though there were also cases of people getting stuff into wrapped candy.

I guess those were the cases my parents heard about because I'm certain it never happened in my town. I ate everything I was given. Dad claimed to check our trick or treat bags when we got home, but he was just scouting for chocolate.

my school teacher neighbor handed out peanuts in the shell one year, I found them all over my yard. Kids would heave them on the walk to my door. I would have picked them up and ate em but I had just put on a fall app of grass feed.
