@greeneyedgirl107 , What Is A #DayOfTheDead 🙀

[Titian06]

@miss8 - Day of the Dead is a multi-day Mexican holiday celebrated from October 31 to November 2 to honor and welcome back the souls of deceased loved ones. It is a festive celebration that blends ancient Mesoamerican and indigenous traditions with Spanish Catholic influences, where families create altars, share food, and visit gravesites to remember and celebrate the lives of the departed. The holiday is based on the belief that the spirits of the dead return to visit their families during this time.  (From Google)

@Titian06 , That's So Cool! I Never Knew.

10/31: Thoughts on haunted house?  I've not been to one and have no interest.

11/1: Anyone celebrating Day of the Dead?  Not me.

[caitbird]

10/31: Thoughts on haunted house? I've never gone to one, but they seem like a classic staple of Halloween fun! I feel like I should try one at least once, but I don't have anyone to go with, and I don't want to go alone. 

Happy Halloween, everyone!

I don't know if this counts but i do love Wednesday Adams quote "I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color"

My dr's office is having a pumpkin decorating contest.  Sharing because they're so creative and cute!

[Titian06]

Wow, to be that creative, @Ispend2much6 ! 🙃

[Ispend2much6]

@Titian06  I know!  Even if they looked up designs on the internet, they still did a great job executing the designs.

10/29: What kinds of treats should Sephora give out for a Halloween GWP?  A bag of foil samples.

10/30: Creative Halloween sayings?  🎃 

[caitbird]

@Titian06  my family quotes that one all the time - anytime someone says in conversation "I got [blank]" one of us will follow up with, "I got a rock." 🤣

[Titian06]

That's funny, @caitbird ! 😅
