I hope to see some more posts from you soon! <br /><br />Oh, Yeah. A bunch of bloggers you know signed up for Creepmas. That blog event was happening last year too. Their posts are worth paging through. I think you'd be interested in a lot of what was written. Yeah, I'd love to get into all the candy pictured here! :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-62143403858341273282012-12-16T09:27:21.712-06:002012-12-16T09:27:21.712-06:00Wow never heard of such a thing as creepmas!!Me li...Wow never heard of such a thing as creepmas!!Me likey!and am still drooling over those chocolates they look soo yummy!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12491206493161292039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-40218817413369519352012-12-14T20:43:00.994-06:002012-12-14T20:43:00.994-06:00Little Gothic Horrors ~ Oh, that makes sense then!...Little Gothic Horrors ~ Oh, that makes sense then! I'd say that Charles Addams was a pretty good find for those magazines. I've never seen a cartoon of his that I didn't find funny and witty!<br /><br />Haha!

I guess because he was a contributor to The New Yorker magazine, they would have wanted seasonal cartoons. He did lots of the Halloween covers for The New Yorker too! <br /><br />Haha. I can totally imagine my own kid having the time of his life trying to gross me out as he consumed those eyeball lollipops!

I've been looking forward to your Addams Family posts each day. It's amazing how many Christmas themed Addams Family images there are!<br /><br />I'll try and dig up some old commercials for Baby Ruths and Butterfingers. They're good. I used to love eating Butterfingers as a kid. Now they seem really salty to me. Anyway, there is a buttery flavor to them and a bit of a flaky layer. I wonder if these candy bars, or something close to them are being sold in your country under a different name?<br /><br />Yeah, the eyeball lollipops are more decorative in my opinion. Still, I know they'd be the perfect stocking stuffer for some kids. You know how some kids love the exact stuff other kids are grossed out by!<br /><br />Ali ~ Haha! No. I'm down to just the black cat at this point. That would be gone too, if I didn't have so much Christmas candy to snack on! That and the wrapper is so cute that I don't want to mess it up. <br /><br />Yeah, I am really impressed by The Davis Graveyard. She goes above and beyond at such a professional level!

That was really sweet of you! I'm trying to catch up on everything I missed during the dark days of no internet. :) <br /><br />Okay this post gives me a great opportunity to ask you a question: What are Baby Ruths and Butterfingers? I've heard of them before and I know that they're candy bars, but that's about it.<br /><br />Those Eyeball Lollipops are brilliant... in theory. They're so good that they're way too gross to actually eat. Haha.

I feel like pretty much everyone except me is taking part in Creepmas this year! Considering I haven't had the time to update my blog in a few weeks, it's probably good I didn't commit to it. Still, I'm really enjoying reading everyone else's Creepmas posts! People are being creative in the different directions they're taking this theme.<br /><br />Bella Morte ~ Haha! You're just like me! I also love eating around that middle section and then chomping down on it. Somehow that middle chocolate tastes different, but maybe it's just my imagination.<br /><br />Well, if a big company would like to capitalize on that idea, I hope they pay the person who thought it up a ton of money!<br /><br />You sew, right? I'm sure you're more than capable of making a spooky stocking! How nice would that be hanging from your new mantle? When do we get to see your new house photos? I'm looking forward to those!<br /><br />Lil Dreamer ~ The skull stockings are something so cute and unique. Wouldn't it be cool to give or receive that stocking with some spooky treats inside? I'm sure it would be appreciated. Yeah, The Nightmare Before Christmas is something that combines the two holidays well. I'm never sure when to watch it, though. I think I'm usually more in the mood for it at Halloween. I have joked about compromising and watching it for Thanksgiving, but I haven't tried that yet. :)<br /><br />Dex ~ You're welcome! This is as close to writing a Creepmas post as I'll probably get, but I wanted to at least spread the word. Besides wanting to catch up on Creepmas posts, this was another reason I asked you for the list of participants the other day. It's been fun seeing what people come up with every day. Do you watch 'The Office'? There was a bit of a Creepmas-like moment on there last night. :)<br /><br />Marisa ~ A lot of this is pretty drool worthy! Oh, I don't think I've seen that picture. That sounds a little like me. There's a reason that I don't let them reach into the bowl anymore! Putting my pirate skull in the middle of the candy was extra insurance. ;)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-65001062398418348002012-12-07T19:10:46.418-06:002012-12-07T19:10:46.418-06:00I am drooling over those chocolate orange pumpkins...I am drooling over those chocolate orange pumpkins!

I usually get given one or two as stocking stuffers. I love eating all the segments and being left with that jagged chocolate centre. NOM!<br /><br />Those chocolate skulls are too awesome! Some big company should definitely steal that idea to make them available to the wider public! I really want one.. or two!<br /><br />I think I need a spooky stocking to hang on our fireplace! I'd want it to be covered in bats though :) I may have to give it a go! I've been making a few batty things recently. A black glittery bat garland which is hung on our fireplace and a group of flying bats to adorn the mirror over the mantle. They look so cute! ~♥~GhostlyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082672042134194651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-29460432842771660222012-12-07T18:24:07.949-06:002012-12-07T18:24:07.949-06:00Very cool gift!
