So while I was putting away my Halloween Decorations, my neighbors already put out their Christmas stuff - they were quite proud of "beating" me! So sure, they had their stuff set up first (although kinda weak they still had Halloween stuff out) ... but once my christmas display is all setup, then lets compare! ;-)
neighbors christmas decorations

This made the HULK angry, so he went over tonight and punched out their Santa! ;-)

P.S. They are actually great neighbors and I offered to provide 'em some stakes to keep their Santa standing up.

Last Christmas I was shooting dope, heavy drug use, and drinking very heavily. I didn't think that my life was ever going to be good again. I spent no time with my family or friends. In Feb. my father found a rehab. I got my life back and now this Christmas I can be with my family and be happy. This program got my life back. It can work miracles.

Halloween was a ton of fun as about 300 kids came by with lots of smiles. We had two feet of snow a few days earlier ... but fortunately some sunny warmer weather made it a delightful night for trick-or-treating. I had LOTS of candy and am pretty generous handing out multiple items to each kid ... until near the end when I realized I was running out (D'OH!) ... and ended up having just two bags left. The adults finished off one bottle of Port (dented another), one bottle of Bailey's, most of the Egg Nog whisky, and about half of the Tequila. Super fun time by all ... especially me as I really enjoy seeing all the smiles ... a few pics below and many more on the Halloween Blog.

Massive amounts of web traffic (as typical every year - screenshots here) with 1,373 IM's on the Haunted Office laptop ... interesting enough, just 44 more than last year. And relive the entire crazy evening in a minute via the time-lapse videos on the Halloween Movies Page.

Tonight is the last night for the halloween decorations and then it's time to get working on Christmas!

Julie and Craig ... who do an excellent job hosting the neighborhood wine & cheese party

Three Chefs sample my fine selection of candy!

If this guy had asked for extra candy, would you have said no?!? ;-)

It is now less than 2 months before Christmas and Internet surfers have had a lot of fun with the halloween decorations. Surf to the halloween webcam on October 31st as several hundred trick-or-treaters come by. But that is all just a warmup for Christmas 2009, so I have re-enabled commenting on the Christmas Blog. Once again, there will be lots of Christmas Lights along with the zany christmas webcam which should be online by December 1st and maybe by Thanksgiving ... HO-HO-HO! ;-)
