A girl dressed as Joker knocked on our door. Suit, makeup, hair, the works. She had all the theatrics nailed down and bowed for the sweets. Phenomenal. Halloween kicks the shit out of Christmas

The Indo Daily with @ShivMagST today looks at the global supply chain logjams and how they will hit our Christmas shopping. There's a familiar Kerry accent in there too talking about Santa (who wears green and yellow where I come from) https://t.co/J6uxv7TDFp
