I do hate it. Not the scary, semi-religious, eerie children's homemade-costume Halloween, but the commerialized, plastic orange pumpkin, store-bought costume, mall-decorated marketing event that it has become.
The worst part of all is the crap being sold in every store, that is rapidly being superceded by Christmas decorations, with an occasional Thanksgiving turkey rearing its head.
At this time of year, all I can do is dread the Christmas holidays, and long for the bleakness of January...that is, until someone promotes the idea of Martin Luther King decorations. Ooooops, I forgot, before the Christmas decorations are stripped from the grocery stores and malls, we'll be planning our Valentine's Day extravaganzas.
I think my fondest wish would be to experience a season in the present, without feeling rushed on to the next one.
Oh, well....Happy Halloween!

I went to Target today to find a costume for Lorelei (nothing like waiting til the last minute) and they were TAKING DOWN the Halloween stuff to make room for the Christmas crap!
It's October 27, for the love of God!
