So it begins...
I always bemoan the fact that the Christmas decorations are usually right next Halloween section each October in all the major shopping chains. The foul stench of cinnamon and gingerbread slowly encroaching on the delicious scent of pumpkin and spice. The sound of jingling bells drowning out the cackles of a grotesque witch as October 31 gets nearer. Its something I've begrudgingly accepted since, well I really have no choice. Halloween only comes to store once a year and usually not till Mid to late September. So you can imagine my surprise to find Halloween staring back at me from the Yankee Candle store at my local mall.
Halloween seems to be showing up in small pockets all over the place already.. in August. Yankee Candle is kicking things off early with their great NEW Halloween Candles. I've always love Yankee Candles' Spiced Pumpkin scent and I try to get one every fall. I was pleased to see that Yankee has expanded on the Halloween concept with not only Spice pumpkin, renamed pumpkin patch, but also Candy Corn, Cider web, Boo-Nilla and Purr-Chouli. My favorite new scent is definetly the Candy Corn candle which smells a lot like vanilla and candy corn. Imagine really really fresh candy corn if you can. Not that I have ever had really fresh candy corn. In fact I'm pretty sure really fresh candy corn is probably like a black hole. We know it must exist but have never found it.
Of course Yankee has also brought out some great accesories for the canldes including spooky luminaries and candle holders. My wife really liked the Halloween cat candle holder and the pumpkin topper so thats what we ended up getting.
And Thus the Halloween season has begun already and my house smells of spiced pumpkin in August.
