- The Harvest: Living in farm country, I love to watch the harvest. I love seeing the trucks full to the brim with corn and I like gathering the scraps for art projects and the sensory table at the preschool!
- Fall Weather: I love the cool, crisp air that sweeps in this time of year. Bring on the down comforter!
- Candy Corn: There's something that just screams autumn to me about having that first bite of candy corn...
- Wonderful Imagination: I love that my son came up with being "Dr. Wilson" (his Ear, Nose, & Throat doctor) all on his own. And it thrills me that that's who he'd aspire to be... not Batman or something...
- Sweet Little Costumes: Cute little kids in age-appropriate costumes are adorable. Just because I don't like Halloween, I'm not blind to this fact...
- Black Cats: Cutest. Cats. Ever. No offense to my tabby, of course...
- Carving the Pumpkin: I love this family time. I even love getting in there and digging the guts out...
- Jack O' Lantern Burgers: Can you guess what these are? Just plain old burgers until you use cheese circles, triangles, and smiles to make a face. My mom made these every single year I was growing up. The tradition lives on!
- Bats: Yep, I actually really like bats. I love watching them across a dusk sky. I'm determined to have a bat house someday...
- Seasonal Books: We have some really great books about this time of year. "The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything" and "Say BOO!" are two real faves.
- Going Out to Dinner: Okay, this one doesn't pertain anymore. But, back in the day, before we had kids... my husband and I would always go out to dinner on Halloween. Because, well, that meant I didn't have to deal with teenagers trick or treating, for one.
- Smiling Faces... I'd be completely lying if I didn't admit that I just can't get enough of these faces...
********************************************************
And so, there you go. I'm not a Scrooge to the core. But Halloween ranks decidedly low on my holiday list. Valentine's Day, on the other hand, is practically a major holiday in my book... I'll have to do a February countdown when the time comes.

Love the costumes... thanks for sharing. I had to go to the eye dr today and everyone in the office was dressed up except the eye dr. I asked him what his costume was and he said "I'm an optometrist today, isn't it a good costume?" I laughed and told him about "A"s costume.
I'll get some cute ones of Addy tonight to share.
Great costumes. Such cuties!
