In her neighborhood, there's one house that passes out full size candy bars and another that has one of those popcorn popper carts and you can smell the popcorn two blocks away. Sooooo good. We have a neighbor that passes out toothbrushes and toothpaste.
I love Halloween. It is my favorite holiday. It's all about fun. And you can be as involved as you want of nothing. No stress. Christmas can be stressful. I like Christmas second because of the boys but if it was just me? Thanksgiving would be second. Slightly stressful but at the end of it, you stuff yourself silly and nap.  Then it would be Christmas.
Debating whether or not I should go to a sushi bar tonight after trick or treating with my boys. They are offering a cash prize and my friend thinks I can win with my sriracha costume. |
Right now, with us living in a downtown condo, Halloween is nothing, nada, zilch. So, Thanksgiving is currently my favorite holiday, followed by the 4th of July. In a couple of years, when we bail outta DC and move into our SoCal house, I think we'll enjoy Halloween a lot. Some of the neighbors there have their homes really decked out for Halloween. They look amazing.
