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

<p>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.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>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?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Plus, spooky mingo decor and the booming 12 foot skeleton trend taking over Los Angeles and maybe your neck of the woods, too?&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Mentioned on the show:</strong></p><ul><li>Spooky Mingos: <a href="https://amzn.to/3gf0Jye" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/3gf0Jye</a>&nbsp;</li><li>Big Skeleton: <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Pn-O_3qzZxlEhBYe_UZwog" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rstyle.me/+Pn-O_3qzZxlEhBYe_UZwog</a>&nbsp;</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>GO SHOPPING WITH US!</strong></p><p>Subscribe to the newsletter for exclusive discounts just for you: <a href="http://www.geethanks.substack.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.geethanks.substack.com</a>&nbsp;</p><br><p>Shop our Amazon Storefront: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/geethanksjustboughtit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/shop/geethanksjustboughtit</a>&nbsp;</p><br><p>Gee Thanks! appreciates its supporters, especially <strong>Alley Peplinski, Becca Sheaffer, Allie Nagy, Angi James, Lindsay Creech and Erin Gibson</strong>!&nbsp;</p><br><p>Join the Facebook group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/geethanks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/geethanks</a>&nbsp;</p><br><p>Follow along with recs (and share your own via DM) on the “Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!” Instagram: <a href="http://www.instag
