My Fellow Haunters...
I thought I would throw this question out there. I personally am asked this a LOT!! When the subject comes up on what holiday do you like best (and trust me this comes up when meeting new people quite a bit). People always ask what holiday you like the best and my answer is always Halloween. It's quite surprising the reaction I get, especially when I tell them how much I actually do to celebrate the holiday (haunted lawn, tons of pumpkins carved, lots of enthusiasm for the night) most of the time unfortunately they think I'm crazy. I just don't understand why...tons of folks go all out with Christmas but nobody (including the Christmas enthusiasts) understand why I love Halloween as much as I do. I thought I would start a thread on why I love this special holiday as much as do....
My personal ( and VERY personal reasons are);
1)Halloween and everything about it has always made me happy (ever since I was a little girl), from the sights and even the smells of the fall night have made me feel very at home
2) The most important reason for me now...My late brother absolutely loved the holiday, just as I do. The last precious moment I have seeing him alive was heading out the door with some horrible green goop on his face while heading out to a Halloween party asking me how he looked with the most silly look on his face. I will forever have this image imprinted on my mind.
For those reasons you willl never see a dark house or an unlit jack o lantern, in my home. I will always be the one on my block doing my best and giving out the treats to the goblins that come to my door. Long live Halloween!!
Boo...
