Would you believe Halloween in one of my favorite holidays? There is just something magical about this holiday and you don't have to be kid to enjoy it, I love dressing up in my medieval queen gown and greeting the trick-or-treaters at the door. So, today in celebration of All Hallows Eve, I give you a few reasons why this holiday is tops on my list:
PUMPKIN CARVING!
This year hubby picked my favorite halloween theme!
(Carved with love with his dremel!)
THE COSTUMES! Okay, dork alert...I love to get dressed up and we've hosted our share of spooky themed costume parties and kids parties alike. While my favorite costumes usually involve hoop skirts or miles of fabric - the hubster would probably rank the year I was Pocahontas as his number one choice ![]()
THE CANDY! Be honest...who doesn't buy an extra bag of their favorites to hide and keep all to themselves? (Although to be fair, I do stash my favorites in my desk drawer all year long, so why should this candy-celebrating holiday hinder my normal activities?)
THE DECORATIONS! Besides the fun pumpkins and ghosts I love walking through the neighborhood on Halloween and seeing the creativity of my neighbors. From spiderwebs to fake limbs appearing to poke through their front lawns - it's fun!
THE MOVIES! I love the halloween movies like "Hokus Pokus" and "Casper" - but will never be caught watching things like "thirteen ghosts" (man that movie scared me silly, I couldn't sleep for days which is why I no longer stay in the room for those frightfests. I'll never forget when I was 17 and my boyfriend didn't drive, I carted the group to the movies to see "The Howling." After being scared shitless, I had to drop off the friends one by one until finally I had to drive home alone in the dark with nothing but my teenage overactive imagination. I think that was the last scary movie I saw while not safely tucked in my own little house or with someone to wrap me up tight and kiss my fears away when it's all done and the credits are rolling.
