It's beginning to look a lot like Halloween...

It may be September 13th, but the stores are slowly growing into little Halloween getaways for me! Eep! A late night visit to Target with friends turned into a squealing fit as I spotted a haunted house sign hanging in the back of Target. We steered our cart that way and were whisked into a beautiful land of orange and black. Target didn't let me down, equipped with newly stocked lights, screaming skeletons, masks, and pumpkins. REAL. PUMPKINS. When they got real pumpkins, you know it's business time.

It may sound dramatic and cheesy, but I was so happy in those few aisles I was almost brought to tears. The reason I love Halloween the most, I think, is that it reminds me of a simpler time. Halloween just reminds me of my childhood and my family all getting together to carve pumpkins and decorate. The other holidays just didn't have the same feel to it like Halloween did. Plus you get to dress up in costumes, get free candy, and watch all the horror movies you can (seriously, explain to me why Halloween isn't the greatest?). We were at Target last week and I heard a conversation between a customer and cashier. He was buying some decorations and the lady laughed and said "Isn't it a little early for Halloween?" and the man answered with a big smile "Well, Halloween's the best holiday!". The lady just laughed at him and was honestly surprised by his answer. But why? When people tell me they don't like Halloween, I'm honestly baffled. And if they tell me it's the devil's holiday, that is not even a valid point at all because they just simply don't know anything about the holiday (and I have been told that before).

I'm just completely in a Halloween cloud right now, I can't even think about anything else!

Actually, I can. APPLE CIDER. IS IN THE STORES. I SAW IT. Apple cider is the nectar of the gods, in my opinion. It's just good.
