Today is Halloween and while many people love this day, I'm personally not a fan; I'm not actually sure why since I don't mind seeing the kids dressed up as their current hero or fairy tale character making believe if only for a day that they're someone they admire. I don't mind handing out treats (I'm not a trickster) while listening to everyone crunch through dried leaves giggling. I've even dressed up myself to hand out candy a few times. Halloween is just a celebration of fun-filled festivities, a reason to eat candy, to dress up and to attend less formal parties. Of course the definition goes deeper than that but the general idea is that. So, why don't some people, like me, dislike Halloween? According to An article in Psychology Today, it's an extrovert holiday. HA! Curiously funny! Be brave behind a mask? I remember one year in my single days I went to a party with my best friend. She dressed up as a "Lady of the Night" to which two of her older brothers told her to go home and change! That was funny, what was most funny was her rebellion toward their request, she is and always will be a spitfire! I love her for that. Anyhow, me being shy, dressed as a "Mime" so that I didn't have to talk :) The sure costume for the very shy, introverted type person who doesn't like the spotlight; I give my spot in the light to those who hunger for it. So, as the day progresses into night, I do my very best to be in the spirit of all things Halloween and I'm hoping that a bad hair day counts as a costume!
