Halloween 2009
This was the most depressing Halloween in my entire life. I just could not get into the spirit of the holiday this year. I put some of the decorations out side the front door but most of the decorations stayed in the storage totes. I did not put the window clings on the windows or the glass storm door. I did not turn on the mechanical monster, skull, or skeleton either. The sign that pointed the way to the treats fell over and I just left it that way. I didn’t hang the black and orange tensile or the giant spider. The covers for the lamps also stayed in the box. The spider web is still unopened. I did not buy any ghost or pumpkin cookies. I never once drooled over the candy apples at the store.
I bought candy, put it in a bowl, and placed the bowl on a table where the kids would see it. Instead of handing out candy I worked at the computer.
Until this year I got as much enjoyment from Halloween as the kids did. I would dress up, put on spooky music, and hand out the candy. I don’t understand why this year was so different. I just hope I am not like this on Christmas.
