I used to be such a poo-pooer of Halloween. Because, well, I’ve forgotten why now.
Now it’s just one more thing to look forward too.
When we’re bringing out the long sleeve shirts and goulashes in the beginning of October, we know it’s coming.
When I turn on Harry Potter and start making “Ghosts” The Princess squeals in delight and dashes over to the calendar to double check because she knows it is coming soon.
When we start making soups every other day I know it’s getting close.
When I find myself at Goodwill three times in the last week…it’s almost here.
If October is the unwelcome beginning of a long, cold season, then Halloween is like the spoonful of sugar that helps it go down.
By the way, what will you be?
