Re: Fall Poll

  • Let's talk fall: Do you prefer to be out in your boots kicking up the fall leaves or at home in your slippers with a warm cup of apple cider?

    Both sound great!  Outdoors for me, though.  Riding over the leaves on my bike.  :) 

    Haunting Halloween decor or festive fall gourds and all things fall?

    I don't like scary, so it's festive.

    Candy corn: gotta have it or despise it?

    HATE IT!

    Favorite Halloween horror or comedy movie?

    Hmmm...  I only really like the Peanuts Halloween Special.   

    My feet and Miss Heidi the rescue mutt!

  • Do you prefer to be out in your boots kicking up the fall leaves or at home in your slippers with a warm cup of apple cider?

    Can I have both: outside at a fall festival by day and home in my slippers by night!

    Haunting Halloween decor or festive fall gourds and all things fall?

    All things fall!  This year.

    Candy corn: gotta have it or despise it?

    Gotta have it for the tradition of it.

    Favorite Halloween horror or comedy movie?

    Took my nephew to see ParaNorman last weekend to get him into the Halloween spirit!  DH and I plan to watch The Shining this Halloween - can you believe we have never seen it?!

  • Do you prefer to be out in your boots kicking up the fall leaves or at home in your slippers with a warm cup of apple cider? I would definitely go with being at home, snuggled up.

    Haunting Halloween decor or festive fall gourds and all things fall? I'll go with all thngs fall-then they can stay up after Halloween until Thanksgiving!

    Candy corn: gotta have it or despise it? I love the first few pieces of candy corn I eat-then it starts to make me sick!

    Favorite Halloween horror or comedy movie? I'm going to have to go with Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin as well!  But, we'll usually watch a scary movie sometime around Halloween.

  • Outdoors!

    We don't really decorate though we have some of this years gourds out. More like, fall foods on the mind/table. We made meathead for a party once so we have the skull and rubber bats. (https://cascade.mit.edu/halloween/meathead.html)

  • Do you prefer to be out in your boots kicking up the fall leaves or at home in your slippers with a warm cup of apple cider? 

    Most of the time I would prefer the hot cider, but I definitely do enjoy an occasional fall hike or outdoor festival.

    Haunting Halloween decor or festive fall gourds and all things fall? 

    I do both - I do fall leaves/gourds/pumpkins decor in the living room and a crazy spooky display in the dining room. After Christmas decorations, fall and Halloween is my favorite!!

    Candy corn: gotta have it or despise it? 

    Hate it.

    Favorite Halloween horror or comedy movie?

    I still love Hocus Pocus. I remember seeing it in the theater with my Nana and my cousins when I was a kid. DH and I also LOVE LOVE LOVE horror movies, so we usually go out to the theaters and see a few each season.

  • Do you prefer to be out in your boots kicking up the fall leaves or at home in your slippers with a warm cup of apple cider?

    I prefer to be inside, comfy, with a glass of wine?? I do like the warmer fall days like 70s and sunny. The crisp air is nice. 

    Haunting Halloween decor or festive fall gourds and all things fall?

    All things fall! 

    Candy corn: gotta have it or despise it?

    I don't really care for it.

    Favorite Halloween horror or comedy movie?

    I don't have a favorite.
