Words by Allyson

So I think that November is my favorite month. 

It means that Halloween is over (hallelujah). 

It means Christmas is coming, and I get to go holiday shopping.  Which is the best kind of shopping.

My parents' anniversary is at the end of the month, which makes me all warm and fuzzy for some unknown reason.

Thanksgiving, which is delightful.

Veteran's Day gives me an excuse to listen to patriotic music all day.

And especially now that I live in Virginia we're full into sweater weather, which I love (although I hate that song).

And I know we're only 5 days in, but I'm thinking this is going to be pretty great.

Confession:  I hate Halloween.

Everything about it.  Except the candy.

I don't like to be scared.  I don't like those creepy decorations in the aisles of the store and in front of people's houses.  I don't like ghosts, or zombies, or mummies, or vampires, or werewolves, or witches, or skeletons.  And I really don't like corn mazes (I have an episode of Bones to thank for this) or anything haunted for that matter.

And it seems that every time I leave the house, I'm bombarded with it.  Radio commercials.  Little flyers left on my car.  It's killin' me.

And then today, I saw this.

New Look

And if that doesn't make Halloween adorable, I don't know what does.  Except these babies dressed up like food.  I think I hate it a little less after that.
