The Haunted Christmas Tree Forest

This is the haunted Christmas tree forest ~ the place where and ghosts and spirits gather on cold long winter nights.

They decorate the trees of the forest with snowflakes and icicles, then dust them with frost.

Many think the sound they hear is the winter wind blowing but it is, in fact, the carols of the sprits, sung around the glowing trees.

They sing of Christmases long past and ponder who will join them for next year's celebration.

Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Future, and Christmas Present are always there.

Then, as the winds die down, all the spirits return to their secret haunts to celebrate in their own way.

Listen carefully and you may hear them this holiday season.

A bracelet of sterling silver, with a sterling silver Christmas tree charm, lampwork glass ghosts and skulls, flowers, trees and Christmas bells of pressed glass and crystal, each wire wrapped with sterling silver wire.  The bracelet has an inside diameter of approximately 7".

Cost is $99.  Shipping is free within the US and Canada.  For shipping elsewhere, please inquire by leaving a comment.

Things That Go Bump in the Night

Under the Bed

by

Penny Tryznka

There’s a terrible green monster
who lives beneath my bed.
I hear his long white teeth click.

He’s waiting to be fed.
I shiver underneath my sheets
and squeeze my eyes up tight.

Maybe if I lie real still
he won’t eat me tonight…
He taps me on the shoulder.

I don’t know what to do.
He looks at me and says, “I’m scared!
Can I get in with you?”

Whoopie Once, Whoopie Twice, Whoopie Ghosts and Soup with Rice

by Maurice Sendak

In October I'll be host 

To witches, goblins, and a ghost.

I'll serve them chicken soup on toast.

Whoopy once, whoopy twice,

Whoopy chicken soup with rice.

Whoopy once, whoopy twice,

Ghostly earrings are quite nice.

The Hitherto Story of Witchy Poo

by Cornerstoregoddess

Here is the story of poor Witchy Poo
Who lost her black cat and was feeling quite blue.

She mixed up a cauldron of herbies and goo
To make a familiar all shiny and new.

She added some toenail of ox and of of gnu,
Then stirred it all up with a lot of to-do,
She sprinkled in tongue of a ratty old shoe

And out of her cauldron a Pumpkin Head grew.

"Alas!" cried poor Witchy Poo, "This just won't do!"
So she got out her cookbook and started anew,

Stirring in twigs and some ash from her flue
Until she created a ghost named Babboo.

Babboo and Miss Witchy Poo picked up and threw
The cauldron's dark contents (which resembled glue),
Right out the window and in a bat flew

Who told Ghost and Witchy he knew what to do.

He dressed them all up, then he played his kazoo
While Witchy and Company danced in a queue,
And practiced some moves better used in kung-fu
Until Witchy's black cat and and owl joined the crew.

The five of them sat down to sup on some stew
That Witchy had thickened with a creamy roux.

They drank up some wine, a fine vintage brew
So glad to be done with all that bally-hoo.

 
Plenty of Halloween goodies to be had here and here.

Two Witches... or Which Witch Itches?

by Alexander Resnikoff

There once was a witch

The witch had an itch

The itch was so itchy it

Gave her a twitch.

Another witch

Admired the twitch

So she started twitching

Though she had no itch.

Now both of them twitch

So it's hard to tell which

Witch has the itch and

Which witch has the twitch.

Twitching itching witches and other which witchery here.

Because Halloween is Right Around the Corner

Father and Mother

by X.J. Kennedy

My father's name is Frankenstein,
He comes from the Barbados.

He fashioned me from package twine
And instant mashed potatoes.

My mother's name is Draculeen,
She lets a big bat bite her,

And folks who sleep here overnight
Wake up a few quarts lighter.

Father, Mother, and their beady offspring need a home.  Bracelet up for auction on eBay.
