That’s right, Chickens, Halloween is upon us. The day each year when it’s fun to be afraid because our fears are fantasies.
My son gave me the ‘REALLY?!?!’ face when I asked him to consider staying home with his family for the holiday.
Family??Holiday???? (cue→face)
But we need to, right? Use every opportunity for community – at home, at work, at school. Day-to-day can be scary. Life can be a real Frankenstein. So let’s claim Halloween as a day to have fun with some fear-fiction, high-fructose-corn-syrup-induced flights of fancy, and good ole’-fashioned playin’ make-believe.
Northern is a spirited community and All Hallow’s Eve festivities abound…be sure to take a few minutes out of your monster-schedule to tune-in and walkabout…it’s hard to know what specters may be seen!
My Halloween treat (trick?) for you (in addition to the awesome Door Prizes we’re giving away in the ASC today)...a poem (no – it isn’t Poe).
All Souls
