The fall/Halloween decorations already up in our neighborhood are amazing!
I liked these 'overflowing pumpkins'. Only on the photo I noticed the strange formula above the door next to the house number. The things you see only after you take photos are incredible!
I thought there was a fire either side of the door when I first saw this.
The strange formula is called Chalking the door and its a catholic tradition to bless the home. The first two and last two digits are the year, the C,M,B stand for the names of the three Magi - Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar and the + represents the cross. The message also abbreviates the Latin phrase Christus Mansionem Benedicat meaning "May Christ Bless the House"
