Happy Halloween!!

My weekend is over, and work is just hours away now. I shall be off to greet the scary little monsters that come to my door this year, but I hesitate to say just how awake I will be. Getting off work at 7am and then trying to stay up for the little ones will be a challenge. I enjoy it though, and the past several years I have been stuck at work and have missed sharing their spooky little selves. I won't hang out and wait for the older kids, because I do believe that the holiday ( as we have made it to be in America) is for younger children, the Trick -or-Treating part that is. I have been incredulous in the past at my own nieces going out and trick-or-treating at the ripe age of 18. My mother cut me off at 12, and I became an escort for my younger brothers.

While I lived in Maryland I would frequently walk my young (at the time) nieces around the blocks, down dark dirt roads, and tall menacing trees. Drive them? Hell No. Part of the fun is the walking, and seeing how other folks decorated. And when you are tired, you go home. The sugar rush to follow needs exercise before hand. Plus how can you be properly scared and and excited if someone is your chauffeur? The best Halloween nights are colder, windy, and very dark. Get your kids out of the car and let them properly celebrate.

I am sharing here, and I have already shared on Facebook, my Halloween video made 3 years ago. Please feel free to watch it and get into the 'spirit' of the holiday. (and please disregard the dedication, I cannot go back and edit that out unfortunately, the actual movie edit is no longer on my computer. So yeah..not dedicating to a past love.)

I can bet my weekend will be filled with Adults celebrating without candy and with alcohol...should be interesting. I have always wanted to walk a vampire or witch out for bad behavior, hahaha!

Frightfully Yours,
