Halloween Witches and Spells

Halloween is the time of year that's always confused me. As a kid, I loved Halloween. As a teen, I got sick of it. As a young adult, I hated it. Maybe because I worked in a daycare and had to deal with a lot of hyper kids high on sugar. Then, I moved to Boston and my roommates were Halloween fans. I saw Halloween in a whole new world and fell in love with e holiday.After one night in the big city, in bars surrounded by handsome strangers, I was hooked to the holiday and I've been out on Halloween every night since then. I was 26 when I found out I did indeed like Halloween.

Funny, considering I've always loved fiction writing and as a teen I loved in act in plays. Hm, I'm like Joey in Friends!(I can't find this exact clip on youtube and it's not a direct quote, but close enough)

JOEY:  Halloween, it's for the weirdo's who dress up as  someone they're not but want to be....

Chandler - Ah Joey, you're an actor....

This year, I'm going to my friends daughter's birthday party, then, I'm not so sure what I'll do. I'm not even sure I'll dress up.

Dressing up as someone sexy is old news - or maybe - I'm just not in a sexy mood this year. Dressing up as something scary is a lot of hard work. So maybe a simple black dress and a witch hat will do. Either way, I'm not in the Halloween spirit this year AND the damn holiday is on a Saturday night. Go Figure.

Either way, my Halloween's change every year. I don't have much of a tradition, I just go with the flow.

What I like the most about Halloween is certainly all the witches and spells and full moons. I love Witches movies/TV shows like Eastwick; or Hocus Pocus or Practical Magic - just to name a few. I've had plenty of fun in Salem, MA when I lived nearby. I've always loved the history of Salem, MA. I especially love the town, it's so cute!

But, like everything else, I'm sure come Saturday, I'll snap out of my funky mood and spend the night handing out candies to the little ones. Or better yet, go out trick or treating with my 4 year old friend and crew. Because after all, aren't the kids the ones with the cutest costumes?
