...Halloween...



I love Halloween in our neighborhood.  It is so Americana.  Halloween in our neighborhood makes you think that, despite how they say we're going to "He-- in a handbasket", around here everything is a-okay.  Kids were running around the streets, mostly followed by adults joining right in with the fun.  We had lots of trick-or-treaters and the neighbors got a chance to come out and visit and chat. 

It makes me feel sad for the anti-Halloweeners.  They are so focused on the "pagan" aspects of Halloween that they miss what is really a happy and joyful time.  Halloween is about kids...being one and pretending to be one.  I love it.




Here's what greeted our trick or treaters!  She seemed very confused, but loved all the visitors!

I miss seeing your house around halloween and christmas time. It is always so festive and brings awe and excitement to everyone who sees your home decorated.

And we had fun joining in on the fun at your house and in your neighborhood. Your neighborhood rocks for Halloween time. I agree, the anti's are so missing out.
