Season 5a seems to be them saying that it's October 2013 currently. We can, if the prop is focused upon, and the form in "Darkness on..." is clearly seen in close-up. There is nothing in the show suggesting that it is currently October. I would say Pumpkins. But let's ignore that part. The writers said that it's been two years since the curse breaking. I'll belive that. But I thought the prop meant some thing but........actually I'm not going to debate that.

I agree with what your saying but the writers really seem like it's not the case. Then again, they could be rounding down with their timeline. Because the missing year was more like the missing 8-9 months.
