Halloween! What, did you think I meant some other holiday?
The house is decorated. The candy is ready. … And I’m plague-ridden with a bad cold/flu bug, and so is Poor Rose, my younger daughter. Poor Gail Junior, however, is still hale and hearty, and will delight in passing out the treats.
I didn’t have the time or extra cash for one of my favorite Halloween meals, and since half the family is sick I suppose it is just as well. I like to take ribs and a bottle of barbecue sauce and let them slow cook all day. Then I greet the (older) trick or treaters while ripping meat off a bone with ‘bloody’ lips. It gives us all a giggle, and I love ribs anyway.
Poor Husband, who unfortunately has to work tonight, wants us to do our Christmas decorating in a Nightmare Before Christmas style. Being close to Disney World means we have lots of opportunities to buy decorations that aren’t available most other places. But that would be very expensive, Disney prices being what they are. I will be on the lookout for ideas to make my own spooky Christmas decorations.
