For those of us who actually experienced Halloween and its glory in elementary school, do you find the streets eerily empty year after year? Where did Halloween go? I remember being out until 10:30 trick-or-treating (maybe not everyone did this, but I was the "fat kid". Still, I think you know where I'm coming from). Now instead of teaching our kids "Trick-or-Treat", we've instilled "stranger danger" as the theme. I realize the world isn't as naive as it use to be for kids, but that makes it all the more sad to me. Okay, I'll get off my soap box...
All that aside, I love getting dressed up and going out for Halloween. This year will be very laid back for me. I guess if all else fails, I could shock a few neighbors by showing up at their door. Now that I work at a Residential Treatment Center, I think it's a little inappropriate to wear my costume to work (darn!).
One thing I'm looking forward to is the day after Halloween. Why you ask? I get to start putting up the Christmas decorations at home and work, of course. Surprising? Probably not if you read my blog regularly. But here I am to spice things up... This year I've been requested to do it...by my manager. Okay, that probably wasn't shocking either. Anyways, in case I don't post anything next week...
