I think the colors in this piece are really right for the season.
Well, depending on which season you think it is. I was thinking Halloween time, myself. This has the dusty whites and blood reds and other muted colors that remind me of the best creepy stuff I’ve seen. There’s even a delicate strand of spider silk barely visible.
Now, if you believe my local grocery store, well, I’m still in seasonal colors here. The white and red and green are prime Christmas colors, don’t you think?
Thanksgiving? What’s Thanksgiving?
…Seriously, my grocery store has had Christmas candy out since a week before Halloween. And on Halloween day itself, when I went to buy a small amount of candy for the handful of trick-or-treaters we get, well, I nearly had to buy said Christmas candy. They’d sold out of all the fancy Halloween candy mix packs that have been cluttering the place since August and were most of the way through restocking the place with wrapping paper and tinsel and all sorts of stuff in red, green, and white.
Can’t we at least wait for one major candy-centric holiday to actually happen before we start stocking for the next?
…Though admittedly, I am quite fond of some of the peppermint bark candy you only find during the Christmas season and may have contributed to the Christmas creep problem by buying some of that before Halloween…
