Halloween

Well, it's two days before the day of Haunts, All Hallows Eve, and whatever else it's been called throughout time, known today as Halloween. We haven't carved our pumpkin yet, we don't have any decorations up, I'm not going to the Halloween dance at school tonight, I don't have a costume and for the second year in a row I'm not going trick-or-treating. I'm volunteering at the local nature centure the day of to help with their Halloween program (mostly I help little kids with crafts. I've done it many times before. It's actually kind of fun) and then having a friend over later to watch the Great Pumpkin. Not the all time greatest Halloween, I know. When I was younger, up till a few years ago actually I went out every year. When I was little I'd go trick-or-treating with my mom and the people next door. As I got older I went with friends with no parents and then last year, I quite. Now, I don't go out to movies or parties or dances or anything. It's like the older I get, the more holidays get downgraded for me. But I guess it's part of growing up. Maybe next year I'll find something really fun to do for Halloween. But for this year, it's passing out candy and watching poor Linus spend his 42nd Halloween alone in a pumpkin patch. You've really got to honour his resilience. Happy hauntings!!
