It's not easy living with the Queen of Halloween.

Well to paraphrase Kermit, "It's not easy being Queen." I hired a teenager from down the street to help me haul boxes and wire up my Halloween Village. We both worked like dogs for 4.5 hours today and I'm only about a quarter decorated. Whew!

Whilst I hail from a country that does not really celebrate Halloween is a"Halloween Village" a normal thing?

The Halloween village is a recent thing here, in a country that (I always thought) really celebrated Halloween.

There have always been people here who decorated their houses at Halloween, and some of them do go a little over the top. Just around the corner from us we have a house that does first rate (if not over the top) decorations for Halloween, including "live" spooks and ghouls around the property on the actual evening. It should be mentioned that the same house also borders on over-the-top at Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas.

When I was a teenager, we did a haunted house. In the front door and the candy was just inside the back door. We had a very cooperative black cat that sat on the bottom step for hours watching the fun. He would turn his head to watch each new goblin walk past. Chains rattling in the attic...

The snow tends to melt too fast in July.

My Halloween village is like a miniature Christmas village, only creepy. Eric posted a picture of it last year in a previous Critter Cafe. And no, it is not "normal" to have a Halloween village.

I celebrate Halloween for the entire month of October. I have a wall-sized cabinet in our garage dedicated to my Halloween stuff. I have to weed things out of my collection every year just to keep it from expanding beyond the garage area dedicated to it.

I have a good sized collection of Halloween tops and vests and scarves that I wear to work EVERY work day in October. And don't even get me started on the Halloween jewelry I own. Not many people own candy corn necklaces or enchanting pieces from the "bewitching bones" collection. On the weekends I don "casual wear" - Halloween t-shirts and Halloween socks. I have a Halloween cardigan in case it gets chilly.

I send out more Halloween cards than Christmas cards. I generally have several Halloween celebrations across the month. For nearly 23 years I have been responsible for making my co-workers gain weight in October by keeping a giant cauldron in a charting area filled with all kinds of candy treats. (I put peanuts and little boxes of raisins in the cauldron too because one gal I work with is diabetic. The peanuts and raisins are rarely popular.)

As a surprise gift one year, Eric worked with a local artist and commissioned a very large bat for me made of paper mache and wire. I have that bat hanging in my den year round. It is a beautiful work of art.

I tend to give normal dinner entrees creepy names in October. No matter what I serve Eric, I guarantee I will name it something that makes it seem a whole lot less appealing than it actually is. And I make my poor husband drink his coffee out of a pumpkin mug for 31 consecutive days. He hates this because my pumpkin mugs (I have a set of several dozen) are so large that if he fills the mug completely his coffee stays hot for far too long and if he half fills the mug his coffee cools off far too quickly.

None of this is "normal" and I have an extremely tolerant husband.
