And just like that - pouf - it's over...

By the time the kids get home from school, all the decorations will be gone. 

Any sign of spooky fun has disappeared for another year...

My favs were these two - the Pacman (the binky turned to ghosts in the wind) 

and the Eyes. It's not clear but there's a lady also dressed with a big eye and thee was smoke and noises which I didn't catch.

“There is a child in every one of us who is still a trick-or-treater looking for a brightly-lit front porch.”

— Robert Brault







There's something so joyous and magical about Halloween, and there's a bittersweet edge as the evening draws to a close. 



For we know "The world turned upside down — in a good way — for one black velvet night." and it is 11 more months until the celebrations begin again....
(Quote by Karen Fortunati)

I hope you had happy hauntings and were met with gleeful delight by those that roamed the streets.

And now it's just 8 weeks until Christmas so prepare for that onslaught....

(As an aside, I saw a tweet about autistic kids needing a blue bucket because they can't say trick or treat or something - don't be that jerk. You are giving away free lollies. Don't care if the kids aren't dressed up, don't care if they're bussed in from another suburb, don't care if they're 'too old' and don't care if they don't say anything...you're giving it away, so give it away with no strings...just read the room a bit.)

  2. Dear Lydia,
    these are interesting Halloween impressions! Are you removing the decoration straight away? I'll probably leave my pumpkin head up for the whole of November - until the Christmas decorations go out in front of the house ;-) Otherwise, we didn't celebrate Hallowenn - that might happen again when our grandson is old enough for it.
    All the best - I hope you've had a good start to November,
    Traude
