Halloween

Hey all

This damn Americanisation of Australia is getting beyond a joke. Schools have been pushing Halloween for the last few years and now all shops start to sell the decorations similar to Christmas.

As an Australian, I was wondering if any Americans can post pics of their deco's? I have 2 young kids that are growing up with this at school, and so they don't feel left out I was planning on decorating something small.
Even Woolworths (our main grocery store) is selling the pumpkins you use to carve out.

How hard is is to make a jack-o-lantern ?

cheers

It's all about the bottom dollar... Don't be all that surprised, the more holidays or yearly events they can milk for money, they will.

I might do some pics in a few days if I do I'll be sure post, and jack-o-lanterns are actually kinda fun to make.

Halloween is pure awesomeness. Best holiday of the year.

My two best friends got married on Halloween a few years ago, and they use Halloween decorations as everyday household adornments. I'd post pics of their house but I don't know if they'd be okay with that.

Jack o lanterns can be pretty simple, or ridiculously complex, depending on your taste and skill. Two triangles for eyes, one for the nose and a pattern of triangles for the mouth is probably the easiest way. Around here, they sell templates to make the really elaborate designs.

Happy Halloween,
