I do begin my celebration on Oct 1 when my Halloween decorations come out and we watch atleast one horror film each night. (Let's face it - I TRY to wait until Oct 1 - last year I started the last week of Sept).

Do all of you celebrate all month as well?

I do pretty much keep the whole month of October (which is my favorite month of the year) as my Halloween month, and like you, I sometimes have a hard time waiting until October to start. I am already scouring the magazine racks in the stores for Halloween issues (Pillsbury has come out with their Halloween recipe booklet). And I have bought a couple of Halloween-themed items from Old Time Pottery & Michael's.

I don't do any holiday all year. I love them all, but as a child, I kept a Christmas tree up in my bedroom until late June. That year, the Christmas tree in December didn't mean as much to me, because I had had one up for half the year already. I find that I need to take a break from my favorite holidays in order to enjoy them to the max. (Shakespeare actually has some lines about that in First Henry IV--"If all the year were playing holiday,/to sport would be as tedious as to work/But when they seldom come, they wished-for come/ And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.")

So I try to enter into the spirit of each season in its turn. I love them all, but I love October the best.

I love the countdown i haunt it looks great, I try to come here as much as possible and read because i do love Halloween and It really kicks in September now dont get me wrong I think about it almost everyday about new products or ideas I can use for my yard haunt and inside decorations. But I start building putting things together up stairs and then when October 1st comes it all goes up.

Ok, well.... I do love Halloween and I really do care less about the countdown because Halloween is always there for all of us all year round!

Whoo-ho! 82 days till Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. 82 days till Halloween, I can't wait!! (Set to the tune of the insidious little rhyme from Halloween 3, Season of the Witch. I didn't even like the movie, but damn if the rhyme and tune didn't stay with me.)
