Be a Halloweenie

So call me cynical. I really didn't think the Munsters Halloween Village was going to do very well, because really. Who decorates the inside of their house? Do people really invite trick-or-treaters into their house? Well, I suppose people do throw halloween costume parties...

The point of that whole bit just sets me up to say, "I was wrong." The Munsters Village is the third bestseller on our site.

It's done so well that Bradford is already humming with new ideas for next Halloween. :)

In other news, I was perusing the public library yesterday (when was the last time you went to a library? Until yesterday, it was two years for me!), and I came across the book: "The Urge to Splurge: A Social History of Shopping." If you've been with our program for a long time, you may know that I'm fascinated by consumerism. Check it out if you get a chance, it's a good read. Author is Laura Byrne Paquet. Here's a library of congress link because I'm not linking you to Amazon, sheesh. :)
