What I LOVE about Halloween!

Isn't Halloween wonderful? Imp #1 had his Halloween Concert last night, and both boys are gone off with their costumes in their backpacks today for this afternoon's Halloween festivities at school. I was just thinking of all the other things I LOVE about Halloween and thought I would share them with you:

• The children's excitement!
• Seeing the orange glow from all lights on our street at night! 
• All the spooky, creepy-crawly decorations people come up with.
• Halloween specials on TV - Garfield, Charlie Brown, etc.
• Hearing "The Monster Mash" on the radio.
• Ghosties with the Mosties ;-)
• Candy, Chocolate... any holiday that brings chocolate to the forefront is a good one in my books!
• Cats....any holiday that brings cats to the forefront is a good one in my books;-)
• Costumes.
• Another excuse for oranges, reds & yellows....
• Apples, pumpkins, corn....
• Spooky moons.
• Cobwebs. (Imp #2 tells me that I don't have to decorate for Halloween because I already have cobwebs on my chandeliers. Thanks Dude.)
• Tombstones.
• Halloween Parties!
• Seeing the neighbourhood kids dressed up when they ring our doorbell!
• Trick -or-Treating with my boys!
• Memories of my Nan and Great-Aunt and the Haunted House parties they used to stage for us as children. I would be SO scared to enter... and SO excited. I would get freaked out when I had to eat their Eyeball Soup and Slimy Brains! Love you Ladies and think of you both often - especially at Halloween, XXOO.
