Creepmas is coming . . .

This time of year always signals a lull in my blogging activity.  After the frenzy of October and the decaying pumpkin photos of early November, there doesn't seem to be much left to say.  So I tend to be rather quiet while catching up on neglected Countdown to Halloween posts and looking at other people's Halloween photos.

But that may soon change.  Now that Creepmas is coming.



"A reaction to the continuing incursion of Christmas into Autumn and Halloween,CREEPMAS is a good-natured chance for Halloween lovers to exact revenge by bringing some spooky good cheer into the holidays or, more appropriately, the Hallowdays."

What's not to love?  This may be just the motivation I need.

My comment on their blog, which I put here too:

Very interesting idea. Oh and I love Christmas, but I love Halloween more. And it might be a way to make us remember that Christmas itself was traditionally a celebration with a gloomy and sinister side: Victorian ghost stories were often set around Christmas (A Christmas Carol belongs to this tradition), the Legend of Saint Nicolas is a gruesome one, the characters of Père Fouettard is a bogeyman associated to Christmas, etc.
