Good Morning! Always nice to see new numbers on all of our counts. They change every day, even if it doesn't seem like they are changing at all!

Midway now through what I think is one of the longest weeks of the year. And that's because of the anticipation of Christmas getting here. You know what? I feel like this too in August, when I am really wanting the time to pass because we are standing on the doorstep of the Bers. So in that regard, it is nice to have some of that same "feeling" this morning!

Good Morning! All in all I'd say we got around a foot yesterday. My pictures are in the main Christmas countdown thread. Not much Halloween-y going on today in my world, it feels like a Christmas wonderland back here with all the snow and the lights!

Morning Halloween Fans! We have snow out there this morning! A bunch of it too. I remember we had a snowy Halloween several years ago. It was an amazing sight as kids wearing costumes threw snowballs at each other in the streets. What a memory it was. Have a great day!

Understandable as we are knee deep in the Christmas season. It's hard to be in a spooky state of mind right now, but I will tell you that I'm very thankful for this thread, because once Christmas is over I will be looking ahead to spooky season once again. Halloween has always been special, but this year it took on a more important role to me as the first holiday in the "Christmas Triumvirate."

Morning Halloween Fans! We are snow covered here. Luckily there are no trick or treaters out there this time of year dealing with the elements. Have a great day!

Good Morning! We advance ever forward in our Countdowns. Today's numbers, for some reason, seem very comforting, even though we still have a long way on two of the counts. I noticed that we will hit 130 Days to Halfoween on Monday, and for some reason, Halfoween has been on my mind the past couple of days. I also plan on as soon as Christmas Day has passed, finalizing the last of my Jack O Lantern Day #1 details. It is going to be grand, it is going to be great, and it is going to close out January in style. Have a great day!

Morning Halloween Fans! Glad to see that Halloween count looking good as always. We have about 12 inches of snow on the ground still. It's too cold to really start melting yet. It looks like we will have a white Christmas this year. I just hope we have an orange & black Halloween too

. Have a great day!

Good Morning and Happy Saturday! Wow. Next weekend at this exact time, Christmas will be over. That is just a little sad. But i'll only be sad briefly, because there is always work to do for the next set of Holidays. Always time to think, wish, plan, and hope for the best. Folks, we really should have a better 2021. And even if it is not 100% back to "normal", our experience this coming Holiday season, should be be much, much better!

Have a great Saturday!

I'm going to start planning earlier this year. With the first JoL Day in January, I figure why wait for Summer? It'll keep me distracted from the fact that...well, it's January.

Happy Sunday! It's Christmas week! Can't believe we are here, but here we are indeed!

And to think that next week at this time, We will all be somewhere on MMC gearing up for New Year's, and getting ready to count it down.

And always, at this time of the year, I'm a mixed bag of emotions. Folks, I wish for Christmas just about 24/7. And the week that it finally arrives, like Thanksgiving, I think there is just magic in the air. With all that we have been through this year, I don't want Christmas to go. I wish we were back in the late September / Early October days where there was still magic in the air, but it was a different vibe, and we still had the "best holidays" ahead of us. I still believe that in 2021, everyone is going to have a much better year, and as far as Holidays go, they should be much more in line with what we are used to.

Morning Halloween Fans! I have to say that this year I bought less post-Halloween candy yet I still have plenty left. Glad I didn't overdo it this year. It was a little less candy but a little MORE Halloween decorating which will continue I hope for 2021. Have a great day!

Edge612 · Dec 21, 2020

Morning Halloween Fans! It seems like yesterday we were all excited for Halloween. And now? We're all excited for Christmas. How did that happens? I'm looking forward to it though. I know all of you are. Maybe just have 1 little spook this week just to keep Halloween alive through Christmas Week. Have a great day!

I like the thought of keeping Halloween alive, Edge, even right now in the midst of Christmas. On Saturday night I watched "Mickey's Christmas Carol," and when I saw Ghost-Goofy as Marley I thought, "Too bad there's no Disney Halloween special like this. It would have been excellent!"

Now that I've said that, someone will come along and post some beloved Disney Halloween special that I've been missing out on all these years.

Good Morning Halloween Friends! This is it. The final countdown to Christmas. 4 days to go, and i'm just a mixed bag of emotions. Happy & Sad and everything in between. Feels this way every year. This time wouldn't be special, IMO, if I didn't go through this each year. Don't worry, after Friday, i'll be back to 100% countdown mode, ramped up considerably by reaching New Year's Day.

And speaking of countdowns, *MILESTONE WARNING*!!!:

We will reach 300 Days to Halloween in exactly two weeks from today! As mentioned previously, for as long as a slog January can be, we have four significant milestones to celebrate, with 3 belonging to this thread alone. And a quick, fun fact, We will celebrate a milestone roughly once a week next month!

If anyone is working this week, I wish you a fun and speedy, short week! I'm assuming almost everyone here has the day off on Friday, I certainly hope so!

So I don't have a Disney show, but with the idea of keeping a little "spook" in our holiday, Isn't the Old Year that is going out kind of spooky?

You're right! 2020 was spooky enough. It could be A Halloween special all on its own.

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! "Days to Halfoween" entered into a new set of numbers today. Spiffy!

I believe that soon I will begin working on my "BERS" Tribute slideshow. I have spoke about it on here before. I want to cover all my bases across Fall & early winter, set to the background song of "The wind can be still".

Just looking at some pictures I had shot earlier this year, I started humming that song, and it was enough to give me goosebumps, so I think I'm on to something.

The video will be especially meaningful I think, when we are in the last part of January.

Hope all have a great Tuesday!

Morning Halloween Fans! Our month of October was fantastic wasn't it? I still remember it like it was yesterday. Even though we're heading towards Christmas you know Halloween is still in my Heart. Have a great day!

I absolutely cannot wait to see this! I haven't heard that don't before (at least I don't think I have), but I'm waiting until you release the slideshow before I listen to it. I want to hear it for the first time in the context of The Bers.

I was just thinking this morning how much I want 2021 to be a "redemption year." 2020 was nothing short of a dumpster fire, and I feel like so much was lost this year to the point that it affected us all. I want to live 2021 to the fullest, even if the pandemic is still not under control yet. This doesn't mean I'm just going to "YOLO" and start going out without a mask or anything, but I have so many things I want to do, even if they're just small things.
