Me too. I could not wait to get out of the house and into the world.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I got my flu shot yesterday and then couldn't figure out why my arm hurt this morning.
Is Halloween considered a bad thing in Jewish culture or is ltc's school just being super weird about it for no reason?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I mean, it's a pagan holiday, no? I understand any organization based on any other religion not wanting to celebrate it.

I guess that's probably it. I wanted to bring in some Halloween lollipops for ltc's classmates, which is allowed on other occasions. I went to public school and we always dressed up on Halloween at school.

Our wings are not tired.
We dressed up in Catholic school. It was one day we didn't have to wear our uniforms.

A woman I rode up on in the elevator this morning was wearing a fascinator. I'm not sure if that was meant to be a Halloween costume, or even if it counts as a costume.

I was just wondering how much guacamole I was wearing. I'll just add the lollipops and fruit treats (all individually wrapped to the trick or treater loot.

I've heard of some Christian denominations disapproving of Halloween, but never heard of it being against any Jewish traditions/teachings.
I did a storytime this past Saturday at a local event where I had brought a bunch of Halloween/spooky books to read, and one kid told me before I began that his mom didn't approve of Halloween, so could I not read any Halloween books? (I gave a sort of noncommittal response and then later this same kid started requesting a bunch of the Halloween books, so I just read them and nobody gave me any trouble about it, but I was still pretty weirded out by the request.)

I don't think it's obvious at all -- I just meant to say I can see where it's possible.

I'm supposed to work today? What's up with that?
