Halloween time. Ahhh, how I love it so. One of my favorite holidays of all time, which is ironic because I can't stand horror movies or being scared. No, what I love about Halloween is the time of year (Fall is so beautiful), the lack of stress, and the focus on children.
Don't get me wrong. I love Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter...but these seem to be stressful holidays. Gift buying, wrapping, baskets to fill, and meals to cook keep me so busy. It's also stressful because these tend to be "extended family" holidays. Travel and dividing up time makes me cringe.
Valentine's Day is also a fun time...but I sometimes feel a bit let down. Husband is very sweet, but he's not exactly "sweep me off my feet" romantic. His idea of a great night is a good steak dinner and a Coors Light. My idea of a great night is sushi, cocktails, dancing, and lots of conversation.
No, Halloween is my time. This year has been full of pumpkin patches and carving, cookie making, costume wearing, and Halloween parties. I feel like I can really focus on my kids and spending time with them. That to me is the defination of a great holiday!
Maybe Matt and Andy should hang out on Valentine's Day and the girls will go out for some PBR and dancing!
