October has been a good month. I couldn't, for the life of me, remember exactly why , but as the month ends I have a lot of happy, satisfied feelings about how it went.
I'm also happy it's Halloween. Here are some things I appreciate about Halloween:
- Even though I hardly ever get in costume anymore, I love seeing other people's creativity and personality as displayed in their costumes.
- It's one of the few days when it is acceptable for people to defy social norms and get kudos for it.
- As a kid I used to want to be a witch, so I have a certain affinity with the atmosphere of the day.
- It's associated with candy.
- Little kids' cuteness gets amplified by probably 50%.
- And a new reason to like Halloween: It's Nevada Day! A Celebration of my new home state.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Yes, kids are cute on Halloween. I was out in front of the house and a neighbor girl (age 3) came up to me and said, "You're Mrs. Santa Claus." Then another kid with her said, "I'm coming to see you on Halloween." So, of course, I had to be there and be ready. Sadly, only two groups all evening did not know about saying "Merry Christmas!" Even some people I didn't know said it.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to put that in my list! Amendment to above list:
ReplyDeleteI like Halloween because my mom dresses up like Mrs. Santa Claus and hands out Christmas presents instead of candy. How could that not make Halloween even a little bit better?
