Wow – there really are holiday bazaars starting to pop up on the calendar. I’m not sure I’m ready yet for the holiday shift. And, even though it may not be true, it seems like Christmas wrapping paper, gift cards, and ornaments adorn shelves earlier every year. If you are like me and focused on celebrating one holiday at a time, you will love what we have on our home page. Find stories about cheap costumes, teen Halloween activities, pumpkin patches, and pumpkin recipes.
