Just not Feeling Creepmas

I have been hemming and hawing over Creepmas for the entire month of November.  I have to admit that Halloween was a challenge, mostly because I had an injured knee and climbing stairs was not fun.  That left me feeling run down and less than enthusiastic about celebrating another holiday.  Plus, the Creepmas team who used to run the site won't be hosting this year.

So I might do a few Creepmas posts - I still have pumpkins. I might carve one of those.  I have a gingerdead house that may be fun.  Cookies are always nice to make and I have purchased some presents for love ones.  I won't get up to my usual 13 posts from Dec. 1-13 however.  I am planning no dinner party and probably won't decorate my house.  Yep my mojo is running low.

 Having said that though, just a short internet search on Etsy reveals so many makers who are embracing the season.  Fancy a little jewellery to show your Creepmas Spirit?  These makers have you covered.

 Lovely this has these adorable witch hats but hurry - only 2 available and in 5 people's carts.

These mini trees by CheleBelleArt are so sweet and come in many colors.

It would not be Creepmas without a little  Krampus. How elegant are these?   Just the conversation starter for those Evangelical Christian relatives.

If horror is more your thing, nothing cries happy holidays like Michael Myers in a Santa hat.  Perhaps this will spawn an entirely new slasher series - Halloween has ended but Creepmas is just beginning.  I should pitch that in Hollywood. It's just the kind of banal, poorly hatched idea that might incite the film industry. You can find these Michael Myers earring at Born2BlossomDesigns.

So if you are feeling the Creepmas spirit I hope you can find a little retail therapy to fill the void that my poor efforts will leave.

  1. Blogging mojo waxes and wanes, it's true. No shame in taking a pause to refresh and rejuvenate, especially if other matters like your injured knee are demanding your attention and energy!

  2. Sorry to hear you've been under the weather. You certainly gave us an abundance of posts leading up to Halloween. Take things easy.

    1. Well I am much better but seem to be devoid of Holiday Spirit - bah humbug.

  3. We're only planning on doing a few Creepmas posts early this December. We love the creepy folklore and mythology centered around the winter solstice and pagan celebrations, but there's only so much territory you can cover and we feel we've discovered and shared most if not all of the stories by now and want to avoid being too redundant.

    1. Yes - redundancy might be a problem for me as well. I feel like Jack in Nightmare Before Christmas - same as last year and the year before that............

  4. My tree Thursdays are turning into a break for me. Trees are easy to collect for me. I've got a ton of them. So you can designate a day for something like that.

  5. I've been feeling a tad rundown myself. I was thinking about joining one of the holiday challenges, but I doubt I will. I just can't imagine posting every single day. At the moment, my merriment won't translate into more than a few posts a month.

    I hope your knee is much better.

    And I love the earrings!

    1. My knee is much better thank you. It is a tough time of year - a lot of pressure to keep up.

  6. Once the Tofurkey was out of the oven I started bringing up decorations. Got the Yule tree up the next day and hubby finished the high tech tree in the living room today. We hung the stars and moons lights on the porch and I am done. That was it for holiday cheer. Mostly just want to snack and watch TV. We are talking about driving to the coast for a mood boost. It was a rough fall for hubby.

    1. Well you two worked your tootunkeys off for Halloween so I can see why you would need just a bit of a mood boost and perhaps a little snacking and tv.
