Yes my absolute favorite time of the year is fall without a doubt. The (supposed) coolness in the air, the turning of the leaves (well as much as they turn in CA), and yes, Halloween.

Not only is Halloween one of my favorite movies (I have a thing for late 70s, early 80s scary movies) but Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Yes indeedy, I love me some Halloween!

Too bad I live in the sticks and don’t get trick or treaters. Or that no one appreciates the decorations I put up except for me and the kids and the occasional visitor.

Well wouldn’t this dude shock the hell out of you if he came a knockin’ at your door Halloween night.

I think there’s something fun and forbidden about Halloween. All of the mystery and witchcraft and things that go bump in the night. Dressing up as someone else for just one day, having a little fun, doing things you normally wouldn’t do. I have many fond memories of working on Halloween and the entire office dressing up with a theme. One year we were hippies, another year we had a slumber party. One year the vice president showed up dressed as a woman. That was hilarious.

Of course then there’s the candy. Lots and lots of candy. Who doesn’t love candy?

Yeah I know it’s only October 3rd but bring it on damn it! Long live Halloween!
