Happy Halloween

10/31/2011

 
Today is halloween.  To me it is just another day.  It isn't that my family doesn't believe in Halloween or anything.  I just don't like it.  When my Sister lived at home she loved the whole Scarey, dress-up, get candy stuff.  My Mom did a chili party every year and all our friends came over.  We played games and ate chili and candy.  It was fun but since I was in 1st grade I haven't dressed up.  First off I don't want to dress up and second I don't like being scared.  Yes My parents always made it fun for me and no one ever dressed up at the parties unless they wanted to.  In our atic we have everything from fog machines to rats in cans and Ghosts that move around the room and Stroble lights.  Need I go on?  But for the first time in years that is where it all will stay.  I am glad.  Instead Mom is cooking burgers out one the grill and she made peanut butter cookies.  We will be eating our burgers and cookies in front of the TV while we watch a DVD of Bonaza.  We don't have Television as most know it.  We just watch DVDs.  So that is where you will find us this year.  What is your best Halloween Memory???  So far mine will be this year.

I have to say, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, both in it's more traditional sense of being a day to remember all the souls that have passed before us, and in it's current sense of play and pretend.

I absolutely HATE being scared, but I love watching the kids in my neighborhood dress up and play at being princesses or fairies or ninjas, and I love the traditions we've built as a family - making decorations, carving pumpkins, figuring out my daughter's costume.

And I love that this is one of the few times a year that I get to see all the neighbors that normally we don't get to talk to.

I hope you enjoyed your low-key Halloween of burgers and bonanza - at the end of the day, we should each celebrate the way we want to, right?
