Halloween vs. Christmas in West VA

Okay, not to beat a dead horse (too late for that?), but the people absolutely love, love, love Halloween around here and go to great lengths to celebrate. It's quite fun!

At the risk of being picked up by the police and charged with stalking, I took a photo today of a house I had taken photos of at Halloween.

Compare and contrast, shall we?

Here's the house, which we fondly refer to as the "witch-circle house," pulling out all the stops for Halloween.

Ahhh, the Halloween splendor.

Our Porch

Look for the one with the little pirate flag. Turns out to be *nothing* compared to the Halloween decorations around here!

These fantastic Halloween decorations at a house nearby are no match for the little pirate flag. This house is just a sample of the spooktacular (yes, yes....I just did that) Halloween fun to be had here!
