u/KissMyPink X2 Thank you very much for the cat Halloween card and cat note card. I have heard of Salem, actually. My husband is from New England, and he keeps threatening to take me to Salem for Halloween. Do they make good popcorn balls or kettle corn in Salem? Because, to answer your question, those are my favorite fall foods.

u/surutka Thank you for the handmade Halloween postcard. I was very excited to get a big orange jack-o-lantern in my mailbox. I did have a good Halloween. Did not let any bad bats bite, which is actually an issue in my part of the world, believe it or not. Hope you are having a great holiday.

u/Bugsy7778 Thank you so much for the very Australian Christmas card. Hope you are surviving the heat. It is very hot where I live, but right now we are really enjoying the cool weather. Enjoy your chicken and roast pork, and love and joy to you as well.

u/ImStillNewAtThis Thank you for the Emily Bronte postcard. Have you read any of the Bronte sisters yet? I recommend Charlotte's Villette. It's maybe not for everyone, but it was strangely like a mirror of my life at the time I read it and it really helped me through some difficult and lonely months.

u/spitzruten Thank you for the Russian culture postcard. You made me laugh out loud! I live in a somewhat touristy place, and reality is far from romance here as well. I, too, have some vodka during the holidays. It does indeed seem like the only real thing. ;)
