There's been a lot of drama centered around Halloween in the past week. Allow me to share...- This year, as in all others, Americans get the opportunity to view "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." Did anyone miss something in their childhood about a great pumpkin arriving in a pumpkin patch on Halloween? My hand is raised. Anywho, Husband gets absolutely, totally and mercilessly pissed off at this show. Yet predictably, he's glued to the special in disgust year after year. It's comedy to watch him.
- At the office, we were exposed to the quandry of whether or not--or how--to celebrate Halloween. With several who either consider the holiday a devil celebration or who do not celebrate any holiday for religious reasons, the risk of offending was sad and certain. After a week-long hilarious debate, we ended up with a grouping of jolly folks eating eye ball-style deviled eggs and spinach dip from a bread coffin located in an isolated room.
- Finally, the group of teenagers who play in a garage band a few doors down have carried their instruments to the curb. Evidently, they plan to entertain trick-or-treaters with the same song they have played over and over again every Saturday for the past three months. This should be interesting--although it strikes out my plan to sit out in the cool air and greet the kids before they ring the doorbell.
The night is young. Who knows what lies ahead...
