Tomorrow is my favorite holiday, bar none.
This year it’s pretty rough…and I’m not getting the calm before the holiday shit storm that I am used to. My favorite Halloween collectible, Department 56, has been bought and is no longer going to be producing their Halloween line. In addition to granny’s situation, (it’s about to get complicated, so deep breath) james’s ex-girlfriend aka Luke’s mom’s great grandmother also had a stroke this week and on top of that her sister’s, that would be Luke’s aunt’s, boyfriend’s father (I think it was his father? too much to keep track of) passed away and the funeral is today.
It has been raining nearly every day and yesterday it was near hurricane rain conditions around here. We had tornado watches and flash flood warnings and just BAH.
On top of that, it’s the first year we are sans Sprog on the big day and well, we are pretty set in our traditional kid centric holiday. I have NO IDEA what one does on Halloween when they have no kid and actually wants to have fun. The last Halloween I spent in a bar, I don’t remember it being all that entertaining. So UGH. It’s tomorrow night and we (and some of our friends) have no plans and technically I don’t even have a costume. I have MOST of a costume. Apparently leg holsters are a bitch to find. Who knew?
At any rate, I shall not be deterred from my love of this holiday. Candy corn for everyone!
I recommend The Nightmare Before Christmas: Revisited as a proper soundtrack for today and tomorrow. If you don’t have it, you should definitely get it. It has all the music from the movie soundtrack re-done by musicians like Marilyn Manson or Korn. If not that, Rob Zombie will do nicely.
