I do love the spooky season, and I hope you do, too. Movies, candy, stories, ghosts and witches - it's all good stuff. Gimme the staples of Halloween any day. Well, specifically, October 31 and the days before.
I hope your Halloween is full of fun, however you do it! There is nothing wrong with ignoring it all and watching some sports, but there's also nothing wrong with a party and costumes, or tricks and treats.
At our house, Halloween started when my mom (The Karebear) would tell us to get the Scotch Tape and cardboard decorations out a few weeks ahead of the big day, and we'd tape stuff up on windows and in the kitchen. Cats, ghosts, draculas and whatnot. Throw in some Great Pumpkin and other TV specials, and then it was time to figure out a costume. And at least two of mine were hand-made by mom and grandma (I had a full-body ET costume that nearly killed me in the Houston humidity).
This year, we're sitting on our porch and shooting candy down 5' PVC tubes into buckets to keep the kids and ourselves entertained. Costumes look doubtful, but you never know.
Anyway - have a great day and night! May it be SPOOKTACULAR!!!
