Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. Heading off shortly to our Annual Work Christmas Party. They always start it at 4PM so it should be interesting this year as it is every year how it goes. What a time of year we are in. It's windy like every year though when we go. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! TGIF! I'm so glad it's Friday!

The plumber got everything fixed pretty quick yesterday and we are up and running again. The old faucet out front was original with the house and had to be 50+ years old. Now I have a frost free kind and never have to worry about it again.

Not a milestone day today but it looks pretty snazzy to see a 50 day window to our first JOL Day of 2026. How wonderful it will feel to be tracking that once we get in to January!

A reminder that our next Halloween milestone will be two Mondays from now, when we hit 100 DAYS TO SPOOKY SPRING!. That, my friends, will certainly be a happy day.

I hope everyone is well today and has a great Friday!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! It's 26 degrees out there right now, getting up to a high of 46. That might not feel too bad since it's going to be sunny. Tonight into tomorrow morning it's calling for 2 inches of snow. We also have two more chances next week for snow as well. Haven't heard anybody's guesses or predictions for if we will get any snow on Christmas, it would be great though!

We are nine days away from our next milestone in this thread which is a pretty big one, that one being the 100 DAYS TO SPOOKY SPRING milestone!

I hope everyone is well this Saturday and has a great day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! When I took Damian to the park last evening I was thinking of September. Who else thinks about September in December? The reason is because of how everything seemed so simple back then and we had everything in front of. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Pumpkin People!

We got our snow last night but it was only about a dusting. It looks beautiful with the Christmas lights, though!

Folks, we are standing on the doorstep to "The Week Before" Christmas. I can't believe we are even writing that. Has December went kind of fast? I have a feeling it would.

Have a GREAT Sunday!

I know exactly how you feel. And I literally have to stop myself sometimes. I want to totally enjoy and focus on being in Christmas Season right now. The other day it was really strong, I was almost tempted to start working on Jack O Lantern Days, but I stopped. Christmas needs my full attention right now. But I totally understand!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I am glad to have this place to enjoy a few moments of Halloween Season during the Christmas Season but as SS said our attention needs to be on the Christmas Season. It is absolutely so wonderful and I'm enjoying it very much. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Pumpkin People!

Absolutely brutally cold out there right now at 14 degrees. We had horrible wind all night long and I was fortunate I didn't have to be outside for anything. Today doesn't get above freezing. We are having January / February weather for sure. Fortunately we climb out of it tomorrow, and it looks like the next 10 days are in the 40's and 50's.

ONE WEEK from today we will reach the 100 DAYS TO SPOOKY SPRING milestone!

I hope everyone stays warm today!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! This time of year one thing I miss is Halloween Season Weather. The best weather of the year if you ask me. Bitter cold today as I woke up to a -13 degree windchill this morning. Some winters we don't even get that type of cold and it's not even winter yet. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! The big freeze is over and the next 10 days or so look to be in the 40's and 50's. It will feel like a heatwave today after the horrible weather that we have had for the last week.

I have four more days of work and then I'm on vacation through Christmas. Ordinarily I would want the week to go by fast in that kind of situation, but If I do that, I'm wishing away Christmas Season!

I hope that everybody has a GREAT day and can warm up a little bit today!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. It's a cold day but not as bad as yesterday. The sun is out and we don't have any wind. It makes it feel decent. I will take it. The best to you all on this Tuesday with the anticipation building by the hour already. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! The big freeze is over! It gets up to 56 degrees today, it will feel like Springtime out there!

Midway through the week now and it is hard for me not to day dream about being off work for 9 days soon. I need to pay attention!

I was in the store the other night and I saw either the very FIRST Halloween-themed Food for Halloween 2026, or a "leftover". You be the judge. I'm going to say they are starting early:

Everyone have a great day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. We have a nice day here. Well, there's some clouds out right now but it's mild (45 degrees). Believe it or not this is the first day this month we reached average to above average temperatures. Happy Halloween!

I'm already looking forward to seeing Halloween decorations returning to the stores and people's porches.

Good Morning Halloween Friends!

Mini Friday is here! I have just two more work days and then I'm off for 9 days!

We are inching closer and closer to the 100 DAYS TO SPOOKY SPRING milestone! It will be here on Monday! And that's pretty special to arrive on the week of Christmas.

I say it all the time but these counts have been doing their thing in the background ever since we left Halloween 2025. We started this new thread with THREE counts that were well north of 300 days, and this morning there is only ONE count that is in the 300's. And in a little over two weeks, that one also will be in the 200's. That being the "Days to Halloween" countdown. Even I don't want to rush that one.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
 
Checking in and saying hello. Hope everyone is having a great holiday season.

My only item of Halloween note is my decorative uncarved pumpkins have survived this long due to being frozen solid. Alas, we've had a thaw and I think I better bowl them into the woods for the squirrels.

So long pumpkin twins! You extended my spooky season and then some. And while you deserve a more dignified ending than rodents eating your innards, I suppose it's better than turning into melted sludge on my porch.
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. I took the day off to finish a little Christmas shopping, wrap and buy a little food for the big Christmas Eve meal. A few items on my list and to enjoy the day off and basking in this special time of year. Happy Halloween!
 
It hasn't "hit" me yet, but I'm sure it will once the pumpkins inside go away and the new week begins. It's an odd feeling, because nobody for the most part is unhappy during Christmas season, but I do kind of miss it in the bathrooms. I'm so fortunate for the special days here. I think if there was just a "hard stop" at the end of December, i would be absolutely miserable.

Hey guys so sometimes I like to go back through and read old posts, check for grammar or countdown mistakes, and I came across this gem:

"I do kind of miss it in the bathrooms". This was typing from my phone, and I wonder if I may have typed "background" and it corrected to bathroom for some reason? Good for a laugh!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Happy Friday to you!!!

Today is my last day of work, I am off the next 9 days. I'm super excited about that!

And we are going to arrive on the doorstep of a big milestone on Sunday, as this coming Monday we will see 100 DAYS TO SPOOKY SPRING. That's a big one here in the still-early phase of this countdown.

I hope everyone has a great Friday! This is the last Friday before CHRISTMAS!
