.... stoopid holidays
okay. i just have to say that mr puddins is gearing up for a really shitty evening where
anywhere between 10 to 200 lil' demons will show up at my house and demand i shove into
their already fat lil' hands candy. damned doorbell will go off like the 4th of july and send his fat-butt scampering off to hide under the bed while Maddie tries to eat glass to get ar the kids.
this holiday is evil. no one even pays attention to the reasons of it's roots or beginnings anymore... why? because they've already been viciously attacked by the christmas decorations
that already adorn every damned store out there! no one can keep up!
i know i sound like some cranky old man, but i hate most of the holidays because folks use it as that 1 day a year they have to pretend to be nice to their families, friends, or an occasional stranger. why just one day? okay... it's a monday, i admit to being sort of cranky, and i'm just not feeling the love. plus, i'm off to vegas for a 2 day business meeting and i'll likely not be able to go see any of the sights....
so, um... happy halloween everyone. a cookie to anyone who can tell me the real reasons behind this night.

ghosts, eh?
YEAH.. surrrrrrrre.
I live on a busy street of sorts, so the lights were turned off and I tried to make the house look as deserted as possible.
Candy? That's all in my office...
I DO have a weakness for Butterfingers and Twix...
:)
I really want a cookie, so...
Halloween is based on the Celtic holiday Samhain, the official end of summer. On this day the spirits of the dead could roam around, possess people, wreak havoc of all kinds. The Druids would burn fires, make sacrifices, wear costumes to frighten off spirits, etc. November 1st is known as All Candy for Breakfast Day.
Am I close? Do I get a cookie? Twix is partly cookie, you know...
Lanio wins the cookie, or Twix if she so prefers.
Jude wins one too just because she commented so many times.
See, you are both my trick 'er Treaters! tee hee!
