  1. I love them all, especially the bottom four. The one of the boy and the pumpkin both wearing braces is wonderful. The woman commenting about men and football is mainly true; just look at the guy below blowing his leaves next door. He could have at least waited until no one was home…

    Someone should draw a cartoon of a Pilgrim having tied both the witch and Santa to the railroad track (with an oncoming train in the distance) stating: “This is what you two get for running ME over every single year, damn it!”
