More Halloween and the Other Festival

A few short musings on matters seasonal:

This blog post announcing the results of a Halloween pumpkin carving contest caught my eye; further evidence of the fascination that the US has with this particular festival and the effort that they put into celebrating it.

I was working late on Halloween; by the time I was home all of the Trick and Treaters had gone, so I am still without my first proper Halloween in the US.

It is still early November, but already I find Christmas creeping up on me. I heard a Carol in a book-shop yesterday and my early morning coffee was served in a red and white festive mug. Please… wait until December arrives or at least until Thanksgiving has come and gone.

  1. Braved the mall today for an errand, and caught sight of Santa Claus and his contingent entertaining the demands of five-year-olds, the trailer for ‘Fred Claus’ playing prominently in the background.
