Regarding any typos you may find in this blog:
Currently, I am using the computer at the library to write and publish this blog. In addition to the spellcheck on their computer, there is a spell checker on the blog-host's server - and the two programs are arguing with each other, and sometimes one or both corrects my typing, even when it doesn't need to be corrected.

Bureau of Holiday Affairs: Halloween

 photo sealhatsnow_zpsb3804782.gif
The Bureau of Holiday Affairs consists
of me and my three dogs. If you read my
blog, you already knew this.)
The Bureau of Holiday Affairs was forced to hold an emergency meeting last Friday. The reason for this is while riding the bus through Kennewick, WA we saw a Halloween store opening.
In August!
Poor Macky Rae freaked. Seeing the Halloween store made him thing it was October (instead of August) and he thought he had missed his birthday.


Do we really need to purchase our costumes three month in advance? Seriously??? When we (me and my dogs) formed the Bureau of Holiday Affairs, we thought that Christmas was the only holiday we needed to curtail.
We were wrong.
The Bureau has enacted regulations limiting the Halloween season to the month of October. Until 12:01a.m. of October 1st, all persons and or businesses are prohibited from:
  • Selling Halloween costumes and related paraphernalia.
    • exception will be allowed for persons purchasing costumes in order to attend a theme-party requiring costumage, as well as costumes purchased for dramatic purposes (such as plays)
  • Playing or performing Halloween songs.
  • Displaying Halloween decorations.
  • Having sales on bulk candy.
    • exceptions will be allowed for bulk Reeses to be put on sale. The Director enjoys Reeses.
  • Displaying or selling any Halloweenesqe items.


We have drafted a letter to the offending store explaining the new regulations and requiring them to cease operating as a Halloween store until the Halloween season begins (October 1st).
We are also planning to go to the store and bark at them if the don't stop. 
So be advised of this new holiday regulation, and please wait until October before selecting your holiday attire.

Your help appreciated.

If anyone sees other violations of the holiday season limits, please contact the enforcement division (my dogs) either in person, or by email (knockitoff@hohoho.gov)


Remember, the Bureau of Holiday Affairs is on the job!
