Embrace The Post Halloween Depression with us and Embrace our tips to a Darkly Holiday Season
As Halloween fades into the darkness and the holiday season approaches, many Gothic souls find themselves grappling with the dreaded "post-Halloween depression."
But fear not, fellow darklings! At StrunKiss, we've got a remedy for those gloomy spirits. Embrace the impending Christmas and holiday season with a macabre twist by infusing it with shadows and unconventional traditions. Let's dive into five funny and humorous practices to keep the spooky spirit alive.
1. Gothic Ornament Decorating:
Why go for the same old baubles and tinsel when you can create an eerily beautiful Christmas tree adorned with gothic ornaments? Think black and blood-red baubles, skeletal angels, and miniature coffins. For a humorous touch, add some dark humor ornaments, like a tiny Edgar Allan Poe clutching a raven, or a skeleton in a Santa hat. Your guests won't know whether to laugh or shiver!
2. Morbid Gingerbread House Competition:
Gothic folks can't resist a little bit of morbidity even during the holidays. Host a gingerbread house decorating competition, but with a twist. Replace the cheerful gingerbread families with haunted mansions, crypts, and ghostly gardens. Whoever crafts the spookiest, eeriest, or most absurd gingerbread structure wins the title of "Master of the Macabre."
3. A Spooky Secret Santa:
Embrace the concept of "Secret Reaper" instead of Secret Santa. Participants can exchange quirky, dark, or humorous gifts. Imagine receiving a coffin-shaped box filled with black roses, a plush Cthulhu, or a copy of "The Addams Family" on VHS. Your gifts should inspire laughter and shivers in equal measure.
4. "Caroling" with a Twist:
Gather your fellow Goths for a uniquely dark caroling experience. Instead of singing cheerful holiday tunes, you can croon your favorite goth rock or metal songs. How about a chilling rendition of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus or "Black No. 1" by Type O Negative? You'll have the whole neighborhood intrigued!
5. Nightmare Before Christmas Movie Marathon:
End your festive day with a humorous but heartwarming movie marathon featuring the classic "The Nightmare Before Christmas." This Tim Burton masterpiece combines the spooky allure of Halloween with the heartwarming charm of Christmas. You can't help but laugh at Jack Skellington's bumbling attempts to take over Santa's job.
Post-Halloween depression may creep in, but for Gothic souls, it's just an opportunity to add a dark twist to the holiday season. With these funny and humorous practices, you can go from gloom to gleeful in no time. This year, let your Christmas tree be adorned with bats and your gingerbread house be haunted by ghosts. Embrace the spooky spirit, and remember that at StrunKiss, we're here to help you keep the dark humor alive throughout the festive season. Happy Ha-Ha-Holidays! đđ đ˝
