Hallows Family Christmas Tree

Presenting the Hallows Family Christmas Tree.  Isn't it perfectly horrible?

In Search of the Perfect Christmas Tree

I'm still trying to understand this whole Christmas thing (you humans and your strange celebrations.) My friend Carly Beth told me it's a day to exchange presents and eat lots of food, which is my sort of holiday! My mom is real excited about it, too, though she's not sure what kind of Christmas Tree we should put in our house. I found some ideas while searching  "the web" (that's like the cool way of saying internet, according to Carly Beth ... but it really doesn't seem like a web to me. It's not sticky, and a spider that could spin a web that big ... Wow! It would have to be huge!)

Anyway, here are the trees I found so far...

This one's kind of neat, but screams "gamer" to me.  I put this one up at my friend Steve's request, though.  He likes that sort of stuff.

I like this one a lot, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't fit in my house.  And the smoke would probably get annoying.

A Christmas Tree made of chocolate sounds great ... in theory.  No way it would last until Christmas.  I don't care how big it is.

A neat idea, but Wolf would probably destroy it. He likes to eat paper products.  So does my little brother Sam, but that's another story.

I don't even know what this is.

Or this. (Hi, strange girl on the side.)

Ugh!  Boring!

Needs too much water.

Um, no.

Too rubbery.

My mom would like this one.

Am I supposed to stand on my head to look at it?  Way too much trouble.

A tree with legs?  That would never work.

Oh, well.  The search continues.  Hopefully we'll find something soon.

Help!

Hey, all. Just wanted to remind you that I'll be working at Ghoulicious Pizza all day long.  If you're in the area, stop on by and GET ME OUT OF HERE!  There's nothing worse than serving pizza on a perfectly horrible day.

Free garlic knots for anyone who helps me escape.  I mean it!

Black Friday

Wow, totally thought Black Friday was a smaller version of Halloween. My friend Carly Beth told me it was this day where normal humans turn into crazed beasts. Sounds fun!  But then I did some research and discovered it was a shopping day where things were on sale like super cheap. Hmm. So not what I was thinking. And why Friday? If I had to pick a day that was black, I'd certainly choose Saturday. Friday always seemed more of a dark purple with fire-red highlights to me. Anyway, gotta run. Dad needs me to work at Goulicious Pizza tonight. Ugh!

Okay, everyone, make a wish!

My new book came out today!

So exciting, my first book ever is out today! And it's all about ME! My biographer, Robert Something-Or-Other, has agreed to give away some free copies. Actually, I told him if he didn't, I'd send my mom over to, um, talk to him. She can be pretty persuasive. Anyway, he agreed. Yay!

So, here's the deal: This contest is open to all kids under the age of 120 (that's like fifteen in human years). Draw me a picture of anything spooky, and you'll receive a free book signed by my biographer.  Pretty easy, right?

Just send your pictures to evehallows1031[at]gmail[dot]com with your name, age and shipping info.

Because my biographer is complaining that this will cost him too much money, he asked if the contest could end December 1, 2011.  Fine, way to ruin the fun. I really need to find a new author. This guy is killing me.

And for the rest of you non-contest-liking humans, Books & Brimstone is now open and taking orders.

Talk to you soon.

What was under your Halloween Tree?

Hey, all.  Just got out of school.  Boring!  I mean, really, can't humans do something to make learning more fun?  Back in Gravesville, school was so much better.  Not to mention school was closed for like two weeks for Halloween vacation.  Here, they don't even close school down on Halloween!!!  That is so disturbing.

Anyway, that's an argument I plan to take up with whoever makes up holidays in schools. I mostly wanted to find out what presents everyone got for  Halloween, 'cause I'm nosey like that.

I made out like a vamp in a blood bank this Halloween.  Guess my parents felt bad about making me move to the human world and all that.  I got two Voodoo Baby Dolls, some new books, oh!, and a new set of tombstone pajamas that smell like cemetery flowers.  For dinner, Mom made all of my favorites: hot pumpkin, chocolate doughnuts drizzled in chocolate sauce, jellybean stew.  Then for desert we had pumpkin pie with a heaping scoop of chocolate ice cream on top.   It was so horrible!

How about you?  What did you do for Halloween this year?
