i know, i know, i'm not supposed to love this holiday. but i've been doing some thinking and trying to figure out why i've always loved it. at first i thought it was the candy. candy has always brought a smile to my face. i love the colors, the variety, and it's fun. not to mention it's delicious. but i also think there's something young about it. that's what got me thinking. i think i like halloween because it allows you to tap into your imagination, to be something you are not. a superhero, a princess, an animal, a pumpkin, a clown, and so much more. it's the ability to keep that young at heart perspective. i don't like the gouls and gore. i hate all that. i hate the evil, scary faces. and i know that's what it's about for some people....but not most. for me it's about the trick or treating, the dressing up, carving pumpkins, corn mazes, candy, the fall colors, the crisp air. that's why i like it and i always will. i'm a kid at heart and this is one time a year, i REALLY get to show it :O) ok, so it's not just once a year. at least it's the one holiday that is not stripped of all it's spiritual meaning as most of our other holidays are. it is what it is. a chance to get out and have a little fun. so get out there and get some candy. while you're at it, remember what it was like to be a young.
