In this thread curiousa2z will observe a vague and obscure custom...

[Kerb Crawler]

that Hallmark does NOT make a card for!

 

[Kerb Crawler]

Bump!

 

[EnglishRose]

C2 observes many vague and obscure (and frankly quite disturbing) customs that Hallmark have never even heard of

 

[Kerb Crawler]

I am beginning to pick up on this. It's very refreshing.
As it is, I cannot believe what has become of my beloved Halloween....

 

[EnglishRose]

try Hallowe'en in the UK - blink and you'd miss it

 

[Kerb Crawler]

I hear Europe is looking to ban it, that it is not their custom, and only reflects the evil and material nature of the US. (Well, it does, but that's neither here nor their!)

HALLOWEEN'S ABOUT THE IN-BETWEEN-TIMEZ AND PIERCING THE VEIL AND MYSTERY AND HORROR AND GRAYED AUTUMN TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S FOR THE KIDZ!

 

[Kerb Crawler]

She neglected to respond to this one, too.

 

[EnglishRose]

cover your ears KC

CURIOUS get your butt in here

 

[Kerb Crawler]

Why, are they looking to get boxed?

 

[EnglishRose]

No - I was going to shout, but I realised the futility of it

 

[curiousa2z]

*tramps in, kicks off the Sorrel boots, brushes off the snow*


hmmm...it's too soon to bring in the Yule log from last year....

 

[Kerb Crawler]

3rd time's a charm!

 

[curiousa2z]

'tis.

 

[Kerb Crawler]

So, how much of the white stuff do you have?

Made any snow people yet?

 

[curiousa2z]

lots of it - over a foot so far - almost time to go out and shovel again....no snow folks tho - it's too powdery yet.
