Pretty soon it'll be time to break out the Christmas decorations. That is, after I take down all the Halloween decor and once we get Thanksgiving overwith, too.
It seems like year after year, it gets a little more arduous to do all of this stuff. Perhaps because I'm getting older. And this year, I must confess, I didn't do even one Halloween thing because I am currently not living with my family/children and to be completely honest, that's who I used to do all of this stuff for. They are the ones who used to motivate me.
Seriously, I used to make a pretty nice table-scape in the kitchen on the last day of school for whatever the holiday was currently. On their birthdays, I did an entire mountain of gifts, along with balloons and signs and ribbon streamers and typically cupcakes with cool toppings and placed on a raised platter so that it all looked quite festive. And I've always done a nice Halloween dinner with all sorts of cool Halloween themed food: ghoul-ash and spaghetti and eyeballs etc. It was my signature thing during the holidays.
My daughters tell me that they miss it terribly.
