Halloween: Nothing to say Boo About
Halloween is now a holiday of major proportions. Adults now join
children in anticipation of & participation in the holiday. Combined,
this accounts for the expected 3.3 billion dollars in spending this year
in the US.

While it's not a gift-giving holiday, nor is it an apparel holiday as
far as official retail sales go, it has other categories which make it
the sixth-largest spending holiday in the US. Halloween is second only
to Christmas in decoration sales, but it's the sales of candy which make
up the largest part of Halloween profits. And of course there are big
sales in costumes & greeting cards.
What's this mean to you, dear blog reader?
It means you'd better send Halloween cards, because folks are now
expecting them. If you haven't sent Halloween cards yet, don't be
scared! It's not too late! You can still send Halloween ecards (and
save your money for extra bags of candy for yourself!)
Here are a few of my favorites:
For those of us who wish to express our affections along with our humor
this holiday, Love at First Fright is a super-natural choice:
Halloween: Love at First Fright
For those who may be a bit bitter about love & relationships, there's
this frightfully accurate joke:
However, for a general all-purpose Halloween greeting card, try :
A young birdie arrives at a huge mansion. The sweet little bird says,
in typical bird voice, "Tick or Tweet." The glowering mansion's male
occupant mocks the poor bird's speech - and tops it off by taking the
bird's goodie bag!
Just when you think this is one of the meanest greeting cards ever, you
discover that our young bird friend has the last laugh.
