Halloween here is the cozy kind: crochet pumpkins with real cinnamon-stick stems, small ghosts with rosy cheeks, and spiced candles that make a house smell like cider on the stove. Nothing is gory and nothing is plastic, so most of it stays out through November rather than going back in a box on the 1st. Ready-to-ship pieces arrive in a few days, which matters in late October.
