26 Days and Counting

I may know a lot about Halloween, but I don’t know a lot about Pumpkins.

For example, I didn’t know Blue Pumpkins were for real- I took a quiz about Pumpkins and when faced with the choice- which is real, Blue Pumpkins or Glow In The Dark Pumpkins.

Guess which one I chose?

Yeah. Cool idea, but Glow In The Dark Pumpkins do not exist.

I’ve actually seen them in the stores, but I didn’t realize they were blue. They looked sort of – moldy green:

Then I went and looked on line and saw this:

I think I’m going to have to find one of these for Halloween and I have 26 days to make it happen

The rats were gone

the children were gone

they followed the Pied Piper Home.

He endlessly played three note tunes for them, whispered stories about being buried alive to them,

went mad with them

and then one day he said to them:

All ye! All ye! All ye outs in free, all the outs in free!

time to go home!

Masks on, children.

Tonight we are ready

tonight

Trick or treat

and they echoed back in glee

Do you know some people have an intense, irrational fear of Halloween?

The people who suffer from this sad, sad affliction are not called Halloweenies- which was my guess- and they don’t suffer from Hollowphobia-which sounds sort of right.

The correct term for this terrible malady is

Samhainophobia.
