Un jour vous prendrez des vacances dans le sud de la France avec elle-même. Tres excitant. Je leur souhaite bonne chance. *avoid Duolingo for language learning unless you want to learn which animals prefer apples. (Speaking as someone who finished the French course). Babel is much better.

Don't remember but Dustin had a Christmas song where yellow was involved. Equally horrific.

Don’t Coldplay have a song about Christmas lights at Halloween? If not I imagine they’re working on it

Nothing in the rules to say you can't carve a pumpkin for Christmas. Santy, a little donkey, or the horse off of Buckaroo.

Halloween marks the time of year that I need to trim my ample white/grey beard before the ‘oh look it’s Santa’ chants start.

Never!

I call this time of the shopping year "Hallowistmas". Halloween and Christmas shelves grinning at each across an aisle of shopping Mordor.

No, you're thinking of Christmas. Halloween is the one with the pumpkins.

Halloween has become a time of the year that is arguably more Christmassy than Christmas www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...
