I love the holidays- Christmas, Thanksgiving, my Dog’s birthday and of course
the best , the merriest the brightest and the most fun holiday
happens to be my favorite holiday which is
Halloween.

Halloween night ( and in my case ) the many, many months that lead up to it, are packed full of fun things like cemetery exploration, cooking, watching and reading and writing scary stories.
Halloween is the one holiday that lights up my brain and warms my heart no matter what the time of year it is or what other holiday I am celebrating at the time.
The thought of Halloween night gives me hope and joy, that’s why I love it so.

The only holiday that I really love to celebrate is Halloween
Christmas is ok, I like the music, most of the time I enjoy putting up the tree and I also like it when it snows.
Wait a sec.
Does my dog’s birthday count as a holiday? Well. It should be. He’s pretty awesome.

I guess what I love about Halloween is that every year you can change it up, you don’t have to stick to a script and it’s okay if turn it upside down and shake it by it’s heels.
By that I mean, you can celebrate it alone, you can celebrate it with bunch of people at a party or at a Haunted House. Nobody is going to bat an eye if you don’t dress up or you don’t carve a pumpkin.
Halloween is a holiday that wants you to make your mark on it.
You can spend the season reading spooky stories, you can write them too ( ahem ) You can visit graveyards and go to places, ‘where once upon a time something really strange happened ‘ and you can take pictures or just sit there and soak in the atmosfear.

Starting in June I start to write up my Halloween posts and stories. I don’t get to far ahead of myself because sometimes the Muse shows up and we sort of strike out on other topics and that is okay. I just bank those stories and use them later.
I can say this without skipping a beat:
What I love the most about Halloween is that it calls on me to be creative, daring and to jump into the human race and celebrate the night with gusto and joy.
That is why Halloween is my favorite holiday- and with that let’s close with Macbeth and his three Witches because, like I said there is no one way to express yourself where Halloween is concerned.
