I can’t say that we have always celebrated Halloween as The Boy has just never been into it.  Ya know, that whole he doesn’t eat sweets thing and the fact that he always went to bed before the sun went down and all that foolishness. *sigh*  But, about a year or so ago, he started really getting interested in Halloween and even dressed up and went Trick Or Treating!  And Mama finally scored some free chocolate.  😉

I love this early elementary age and the sweetness of the holiday themes in books and movies. Favorite characters and just simple and fun story lines without all the gore and nightmares. Here are just a few of the ones we love!  (I highly recommend the Curious George Boo Fest!  It is just the cutest and The Boy watches this one year round!)

 

 

 

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (reg. $19.97) ONLY $9.99

Peanuts, pumpkins and pleasure for the whole family! Will this Halloween be the one when the Great Pumpkin comes? Longtime believer Linus thinks so – and keeps watch all night in the pumpkin patch to welcome him. Charlie Brown gets into the spooky spirit too, dressing up as a ghost with more eyeholes than needed – but not scaring up the usual kinds of Halloween loot when trick-or-treating. Never fear, World War I fighting ace Snoopy is here to battle the Red Baron – and in doing so, crash Violet’s Halloween party and Linus’ vigil as well. Your whole family will be glad it crashed this party – a beloved perennial boasting a new jack-o-lantern glow in this Remastered Deluxe Edition with improved picture and audio. Good grief, you can’t help but have a happy Halloween!
