Great Pumpkin Ideas
By · Comments
While pumpkins are usually the symbol for Halloween, they can also be used at Thanksgiving time when you find pumpkin crafts for kids that pertain to Thanksgiving. Gourds, pumpkins, and squash are in plentiful supply after Halloween and the Pilgrims and Indians used pumpkins in their Thanksgiving feast, so why not find Thanksgiving pumpkin crafts for kids?
One of the great pumpkin crafts for kids we like is to take a small pumpkin and poke some holes in the back part of it near the top. Then stick a bunch of lollipops into the holes to make turkey feathers. You can then use a black marker to draw on a turkey face or use construction paper to make the face. Just be creative with this craft and turn that pumpkin into a turkey with a little imagination.
Here is another one of the cute pumpkin crafts for kids we found. If you know someone who is a wood worker, or if you know your own way around a jigsaw, take some wood and make some feathers. This works best with thicker wood. Just draw an elongated oval shape and cut out of the wood. Then paint them in different colors. Drill a small hole in the bottom of the feather after the paint has dried, and insert pegs in the bottom. Then push the pegs into the back of the pumpkin near the top. You can also craft a 3 dimensional turkey head out of the wood and insert the pegs into it as well. Just push it into the pumpkin too and you have a cute turkey made out of a pumpkin!
We eat pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, right? Most people use the canned pumpkin to make their pies, but some people actually use the real thing which involves cleaning out the inside of a pumpkin and taking out the meat for the pie filling. That leaves you with an empty pumpkin shell that you can use as part of your pumpkin crafts for kids arsenal. We carve our pumpkins for Halloween, you can also carve a pumpkin for Thanksgiving too. Print out a Thanksgiving coloring page that you like of a Thanksgiving scene whether it is of a family having dinner or the Pilgrims and Indians sitting down to break bread. Use a carving saw and detailing tool and use the carved pumpkin for a centerpiece on your Thanksgiving table.
There are many other pumpkin crafts for kids that you can find online if you use your favorite search engine. Look around the Internet and experiment around with as many of the pumpkin crafts for kids for Thanksgiving and then decorate your house for the holiday!
Scary ghost/halloween pictures/videos?
By · CommentsWe have a long standing tradition to be the scariest house on the block every halloween, and this year is no exception.
My dad bought a projector that we want to use to show a film/slide show of scary pictures on the garage door, but we're having problems finding something to our satisfaction.
What we're hoping to find is like a video of a ghost (scary ghost of course) flying across the scene, or multiple pictures of scary (disturbing works as well) people/demons...things like that.
Does anyone know where to find these or have any that you personally remember?

Me and two other friends where thinking about dressing up as
Hilliary clinton, obama, and **** chaney for halloween.
i'm the whitest of us and would be Obama,
i would dress as a nerd and have Obama across my shirt or on my forehead.
my mexican friend would be Hilliary and would dress gangsta and have Hilliary across her shirt or forehead
and other white friend, would dress as Chaney...
except wearing camo and carrying a fake gun and
'Obama' and Hilliary' would have like fake gun wounds,
like Chaney shot us
we're all 17 and thought it would be fun just goofing around,
we have a tradition to dress up from something in history every halloween,
(ex. one year we went as Mt. Rushmore)
but then thought that some people might get offended?

There are some people who want to turn the phrase Christmas tree into a Holiday tree. LOL. What next?
Will Thanksgiving turkey be called a Holiday turkey or Halloween candy will be called Holiday candy.
If you do not like Christmas and do not celebrate it fine. But don't bash the holiday that so many of us love and get joy out of celebrating. Christmas is my favorite holiday.
I know that most people are not like this. And maybe I watch too much Fox News. But I just don't see why some people have such a problem with the holiday and tradition of Christmas.

I usually take halloween very seriously, but I don't have alot of money on hand this year, so rather than make a very expensive costume again this year, I decided to perfect an old one.
I went as The Joker from The Dark Knight last year. I have a very nice costume, but the makeup I had was horrible. It was something I picked up from a costume shop. It went on wet, and dried like paint.While it looked good for about 20 minutes, it turned solid, would crack, chip, and fall off. Another problem was that it was so itchy that I couldn't bare to wear it for more than an hour or so at a time.
Is there a certain kind of makeup I could use that would go on pitch white and stay that way? I understand that I probably couldn't do much eating or sweating, but the makeup I had last year ruined halloween for me, because I have a long standing tradition of only going out in public on hallween in costume, and I'd like to actually stay looking like my character this year.

Pagan Hand-fasting Traditions?
By · CommentsI need HELP!
This is a first marriage for not only my groom but myself included. He is a F to M transgendered punk Wicca, while I am a biological female Gothic neoanglo-christian/odinist. Our wedding is a Victorian Gothic affair being held on Halloween next year and it will be outdoors with the indoor reception, but its the ceremony that I am fretting over since he and I will be making all the reception fare ourselves.
We both agreed on having a Pagan Hand-fasting ceremony for this first part of our marriage, as in the state we are marrying we will only be able to have a Common Law Partnership. The problem is I know nothing about hand-fasting's or how they are performed, even vague descriptions only are never consistent enough with one another to give me an idea of how to do this ceremony.
What I need to know is what are the customs and such so I won't make a fool of my groom in front of his family and our friends, because the day is not only mine but his and I really want it to be special for everyone involved.
