Really? Halloween thread, and you post a reminder of two months of tacky music and ode's to magic babies used to market Macy's Parades?

Do you know what it is like to work at an old folks radio station paying Christmas Music live for 3 months 6 hours a day, all the repetition wanting to put a bullet in your head, knowing you cant play even "Grandma Got Run Over By Reindeer" or the spoof of "Walking In a Winter Wonderland" known as "Walking Around In Women's Underwear".

Well I do. I don't hate Halloween, I do hate all the hoopla over December 25th as if that is the only holiday on the face of the planet. You don't see Jews advertising 5 billion years in advance and they have 8 days.

 

Of course I am kidding, but I do get tired of all the commercialism over Christmas especially knowing there is no such thing as a magic baby being born without a second set of DNA.

It used to be when I was growing up, you didn't see the bombardment of adds until after Thanksgiving. Now they advertise Christmas 5 billion years in advance. 

My favorite day of the year is December 26th. My second favorite day is January 1rst when I post "Happy New Year" by ABBA.

Fuck halloween.

I will take Halloween over Christmas or Easter. Nobody takes Halloween seriously other than an excuse to party.

My daughter and I are doing Dia de Los Muertos themed costumes this year - that reminds me, we better get to the costume store for her costume this weekend lol
Favorite candy is those candy corn-flavored pumpkins...

Also, my 2nd favorite holiday after Christmas is Dia de Los Muertos. I'm getting worked up into a lather just thinking about it. It's going to be kick-ass this year.

Lol I resized the photo's of the costumes so terribly that they look ridiculous on mobile.

Peanut butter boogers, yum!

I take halloween very seriously. That's S's birthday. 20some hours of labor and a difficult two hours of pushing.

On. Halloween.

Years ago I was working in Campeche Mexico, and I experienced the Dia de Los Muertos. A tequila hangover? I was head butting the toilet bowl to ease the pain, I genuinely wanted to die. Those guys don't mess about when it comes to partying.
