Ep 157: Spooky Mingos, 12' Skeletons, and Family Costumes!

Which Gee Thanks! guest co-host penned the controversial argument, “Against Trick-or-Treating” in the 90s? If you guessed Sally Tamarkin, you’re right! We dive deep into Halloween: the costumes we bought, the candy we counted, and what made a neighborhood trick-or-treatable (PS. our opinions were not always correct). Plus, what we think of Halloween as adults and what Caroline thinks Sally should do with the essay. Also, did your high school have a Halloween parade? Caroline’s did. Do you listen to this episode and think, wow these people have lost the joy? Plus, spooky mingo decor and the booming 12 foot skeleton trend taking over Los Angeles and maybe your neck of the woods, too?  Mentioned on the show:Spooky Mingos: https://amzn.to/3gf0Jye Big Skeleton: https://rstyle.me/+Pn-O_3qzZxlEhBYe_UZwog  GO SHOPPING WITH US!Subscribe to the newsletter for exclusive discounts just for you: www.geethanks.substack.com Shop our Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/geethanksjustboughtit Gee Thanks! appreciates its supporters, especially Alley Peplinski, Becca Sheaffer, Allie Nagy, Angi James, Lindsay Creech and Erin Gibson! Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/geethanks Follow along with recs (and share your own via DM) on the “Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!” Instagram: www.instagram.com/geethanksjustboughtitpod and shop all of our recs here: www.geethanksjustboughtit.com  Hosted on Acast.
