OMG, It is October 1st! The balminess of Summer is gone, and a chill has blown in almost overnight. The sunshine has been replaced by dreary gray, and while I lament that the warmth is gone it means that I can finally hunker down (without sunny distractions) and start ramping up the plans for the Halloween Spooktacular that we’ve been hosting for the past 5 years. Also, I’ve decided to (humbly) participate in a Halloween blogging group. See the link in the sidebar. From now until the end of the month I am going to do my very best to post something Halloween related every day until Halloween. There are so many great blogs on the list, and I’m afraid mine is probably a little more on the fluffy side compared to all these hard-core haunters. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the content, and I hope I can keep it up for 31 days! Here’s a quote about the “Countdown to Halloween” on their website:
The Halloween Countdown is something of a virtual neighborhood to go trick or treating in. Imagine a neighborhood where all of the neighbors really got into the spirit of the holiday and went all out with decorating their yards and homes and on top of that also handed out the coolest treats whenever some kid in a costume rang their doorbell. Well, you are that kid in a costume, and the participants in the countdown are the neighbors with the cool houses and candy. When you visit their blogs, you will essentially be ringing their doorbell and shouting “Trick or treat.” rewarded by a solid thunk at the bottom of your plastic Halloween bucket which is their post for the day. In a way that’s even better than the actual Halloween (no way! I hear you saying) you get to ring their doorbell and trick or treat every single day throughout October. Not only that, but there is bound to be over 100 houses for you to visit each day as well.
While I start brewing up some content, please enjoy a picture of one of my Halloween parties past:
