And yes, Halloween, like almost every other holiday in North America has been heavily commercialized, an excuse to spend! And it sure is one of the most "fun" ones, a chance to be silly and someone else for a day/night or rather an excuse to do it.<br />@septembermom: Never felt cooler..ha! Well except for the scarring of some of the neighbourhood kids...I am now very glad that our yard is sheltered by the carport out front because our little display in full public view likely would have prompted a visit from our local police officer.SwedishJennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143674711124849448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6867606134860164698.post-75804532262655375952010-11-02T21:26:45.801+01:002010-11-02T21:26:45.801+01:00Tell hubby that those pumpkins came out great!

Maybe for the first 5. Nowadays the celebration (an exception is that people still organize masquerades) of the holiday with children "trick-or-treating" have pretty much stagnated. <br /><br />The primary reason for that I would guess is that the majority feels that Halloween simply was a new scam introduced by corporations to increase commerce during a month of low income in the retail stores. The holiday hadn't any real anchor among the general population of Sweden.Olavinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6867606134860164698.post-71189487307632941572010-11-01T15:21:46.635+01:002010-11-01T15:21:46.635+01:00Those pumpkins are awesome, Jenn!
