Hop-tu-Naa

[curiouswombat]

We had so many 'visitors' last night that I have run out of sweets!

Here is the house ready to greet visiting singers;



My crocheted spiders at the door;



And my bowl of goodies;



That was refilled a couple of times before we ran out!

Here were some early visitors - they were greeted by S2C in his knitted Viking helmet and hair, complete with double headed axe - this is a picture I took of him at Hp-tu-Naa a few years ago;





I loved the simplicity of the lad at the back - all in black with his hood up - and a blank, reflective, face. There were others I should probably have taken pictures of - one of the scariest was a 4ft high Boris Johnson. But by the time I thought to get the camera he had gone.

And, finally, here is a sample of Hop-tu-Naa singing to give you a taster;

I love the light underneath the treats!

It is a small set of battery powered lights - I was really pleased with the effect.

The thought of a mini Bojo really IS scary!

Isn't it just!

Oh wow! Your porch looks so cute. We have not gotten any kids here for the last 3 years so we have given up, hee hee.

He looks so scary!

I love your lit up treat bowl and that bat candy is darling.

Thank you. The first year we were here there were no visitors at all - but since then we always seem to get some, which is nice.

I knitted the combined helm/beard/hair a few years ago - mainly because he saw a photo of a similar one and said "I bet you couldn't make anything like that..."

The lights in the treat bowl work really well, don't they!

Oh, for cute! Happy belated Hop-tu-Naa!

It was a nice evening.

It is a shame that early christianity in Iceland managed to eradicate Vetrarnætur and Dísablót, the old Norse relatives of Samhain. All we get is an import of American mass produced Halloween. It was a delight to get to see and hear a bit of yours! The animation in the video is also such a nice thing. Simple, but effective.
