Halloween is near, and that means it is time for massive preparations! Folks, get out your pumpkins and candy because it is go time. I am a huge Halloween fan; I always have been and I always will be. No one will take my Halloween spirit from me. Get out the movie Hocus Pocus and let's go. My family and I have some traditions that we try to do each year. I'm sure you can relate.
One tradition that my parents and I do is to carve a pumpkin. I'm not one of those girls who is afraid to get my hands inside that pumpkin. It's going down for real. Usually I say, "step aside Dad, it's my time to shine." I love saving some of the pumpkin seeds and baking them. It makes a great snack! And it is healthy and nutritious!
Another tradition my parents and I usually do is play Halloween songs. Really the only one we play is called "Monster Mash;" It is a classic, and if you have not heard this song, Google it. I don't disappoint, so go for it.
The last tradition that occurs at this lovely Halloween time is hanging out candy! This is my favorite part. I did this more in high school because I was home, but hopefully one year in college Halloween will fall on a day that I can actually witness this magical time. I love handing out candy because, duh! You get to eat some of the candy.
I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween! Stay safe, eat candy, and remember to carve your pumpkin!
