Mike, which months for "Little Halloween"?

Well, it still may be over 10 months until next Halloween but look on the bright side. Next year, we will be blessed with 3 Friday the 13ths, or as I like to look at it, 3 oportunities to celebrate "Little Halloween." And all three of them are going to be on Fridays that so far, I don't have any major photo shoots or other work related obligations.

Once we get to under 300 days it'll fly by!

Oh yeah--those first 65 days are the toughest to get through. It's all down hill after that

iHaunt, the 2012 "Little Halloween Schedule is as follows:

Friday January 13th
Friday April 13th
Friday July 13th

We have a Winter "Little Halloween," a Spring "Little Halloween," and a Summer "Little Halloween," and then regular Halloween in the Fall, so while waiting for the 'big day' to come in October, we pumpkin heads are going to have a bumper crop of Halloween fun through out the entire year, and not just in the Fall.

Mike, thanks for the info about Little Halloween dates. I really do appreciate that.

By the way, didn't you know that witches will be out there flying on brooms on the 31st of April?

That's right, Walpurgisnacht (or perhaps Beltane, depending on whether you are German or Celtic, I guess--but the same festival, I think).

That's Walpurgisnacht aka Witches' Night Out!

April only has 30 days. There is no April 31st. But I think April 30th is this Walpurgisnacht which I would love to observe if I'm not burried in work.

I'd loved to see witches around my house on April 30th!

LOL! Good catch, Mike!

I think Australian folks who want to celebrate Halloween should pick up on Walpurgisnacht. I cannot imagine Halloween as a springtime festival, but they could turn April 30 into their "Halloween."

Murf, it's very hard for me to imagine Halloween as a Spring time holiday, as it's a hard time for me to imaging Christmas as a Summer holiday or Easter as a Fall holiday, but in Austrailia, that's what they're use to. If you've celebrated Halloween in the Spring of the year all of your life, as they have in Austrailia, you would probably not see it as a Fall holisay. Likewise with Christmas. We equate Christmas with the Winter solstice, snow, snow men, Santa Clause and the like, but the reality is that when it's Winter here, it's Summer over there, so they usualy celebrate Christmas during a major heat wave, and with beach parties, barbecues and lots of cruising around on motorcycles. In a way I envy them, but like you, I'm use to the seasons happening the way they happen, and I just can't i magine celebrating Halloween in the Spring, or Chirstmas in the Summer time.
