It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Some people get excited when Christmas rolls around. Others long for Thanksgiving family get-togethers. Me? I live for Halloween.

Halloween gets a bad rap. Churches, schools, and even entire communities try to castrate Halloween with their stupid "Fall Festivals" and whatnot. Halloween is not evil. It's about having fun. It's the one day of the entire year where it's socially acceptable to be whatever you want to be.

Here are some of the many things I love about the Halloween season:

  • The weather
  • Bonfires
  • Pumpkin patches
  • Decorations
  • Horror movies
  • Hayrides
  • Costumes
  • Fall festivals
  • Playing tricks on people
  • Watching my kids go door-to-door begging for candy
  • Eating most of their candy when they're not looking
I'll be writing about Halloween and Halloween-related activities over the next few days. So if you're not into that kind of stuff, come back in November.

What are some of your favorite things about the Halloween season?
