I've always thought it was a strange holiday. It seems more and more people are decorating their houses for Halloween in an almost Christmas-like fashion. We have 3 or 4 houses in our neighborhood complete with orange lights along with various ghosts hanging from the trees and skeletons in the yard. THIS LEXINGTON HOUSE is actually a finalist in some kind of national competition on the TODAY SHOW (Vote house # 1) I will admit, I like sitting outside (weather permitting) and handing candy to the "kids." But even that gets weird whenever a bunch of 16-year old boys walk up with baseball hats as costumes and hold out their hands. Oh yeah, and the kids who just turn and walk away without saying thank you. I usually go ahead and say "your welcome" to them because I'm sure they just forgot. Happy Halloween - the strangest day of the year - besides election day this year.

I Don't Really Like Halloween

Yeah it is a weird holiday...it's like every weirdo in the nation has full permission to let loose with their weirdo selves, and celebrate death, blood, and gore. Very strange..
ReplyDeleteI don't really like Halloween either. Besides seeing the kids dressed up and handing out candy, it has very few redeeming qualities.
ReplyDeleteI think the main similarity between Halloween and Election Day is that the candidates are pretending to be someone they are not. However, I AM going to celebrate Halloween in a fashion because it was the day I adopted Effie, the SuperCat, from the Humane Society. It is her New Birth Day. She's four. I don't know what that is in cat years.
ReplyDeleteHalloween is a great time to show your neighbors just how much your Leprosy has advanced!
