Halloween & Other Festivities

The holiday season kicked off in July when retailers started putting out Thanksgiving stuff. You know, I always felt like Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday) got shafted. You see LOADS of stuff for Halloween and then Christmas stuff busts the stores at the seams. Where the crap is Thanksgiving? I'll tell you where it is...its in the home goods section of Belk's in late July. You think I'm kidding but I'm not. When we were shopping in late July I was walking through Belk domestics and there were signs up saying THANKSGIVING SALE.

Huh?

Yeah.

Weird.

Ok so it turned out they were just using those signs because they couldn't find their regular signs for that particular sale.

Poor Turkey Day getting duped and used.

For real...I guess the holiday season does kick off with Halloween now. I believe that its the second biggest holiday next to Christmas. A lot of people go all out decorating their homes with corpses and black trees. It is a little weird for me. I hate scary movies so why the crap would I be going all out for Halloween?

What I do love about it is dressing up. I'm the kid whose mom had a crate of dress up clothes that I could pull from each year. I never really had a store bought costume because we had plenty of witch hats and wigs. (Is this starting to sound disturbing?) I have carried that with me into my adult years.
I took to Pinterest to find some fun Halloween costume ideas....so here's your Wednesday smile.
