I miss Halloween!

Once again Halloween has come and gone and I did less for it this year than ever! :P
I mean, I LOVE Halloween, and yet I never get into it anymore! I just don't seem to have time, or I just don't have anywhere to go to celebrate it. I have great memories of Halloween as a kid--remember the scene in "ET" where all the kids swarm into the coldesac in their costumes? I LIVED that. I grew up in the burbs, and my Halloweens were just like that when I was a kid. I remember going Trick-or-Treating with my best friends, seeing really elaborate house decorations and trying to work up the nerve to go up to the scarier ones...
These same friends and I used to built haunted house displays in his garage...weeks before Halloween. We used to sit up on Saturday nights and watch monster movies.
When I worked at Sun Sportswear, I used to build a paper-sculpture mask the night before to wear on Halloween. It was a challenge, but I don't have the energy for it anymore. :P
Next year I want to really decorate my house, build a cool costume and do Halloween the way it SHOULD be done! I wanna have a party, I wanna scare all the neighborhood kids and I wanna enjoy Halloween again the way I used to!

Next year, Halloween will be off the hook!

Back in the day, it had ALWAYS been about Halloween when it was coming around, and there were PLENTY of Halloween specials being shown the whole month on about every other channel.
Nowadays, it's only stuff like "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown", a few movies dealing with ghosts, horror and the like, and maybe a few Halloween themed episodes of different shows.
Just not the same. As long as they still have the Great Pumpkin, I'll be fine. When that goes, then Halloween is surely doomed.
I watched a number of smaller kids just standing in the driveway trying to work up the nerve to come up to the door. :)
Next year I may take a break and just put a few decorations up. But Halloween is still my favorite holiday.
