October is Halloween Month

pumpkins October is Halloween MonthOctober brings to mind a number of thoughts ““ cooler days and colder nights, changing leaves, harvest time, pressing of grapes, and let’s not forget Halloween.

I was chatting with a friend a couple days ago about the Halloween holiday.  While we both agreed that it wasn’t necessarily a big holiday for us, we also agreed that it could be fun.  Neither of us got hung up on the issue of whether it was a harvest festival, a pagan holiday, or if it even had religious overtones (or undertones) at all.  We decided it was just meant to be a fun!

So throughout this month, I’ll be telling you about various Halloween festivities around the U.S.  Whether you’re traveling to one of these destinations, or actually live there, whether you’re looking to be scared, or to just have fun, I hope you’ll find something that piques your interest. 

I’ve already discovered a lot of celebrating options.  A couple of them actually entice me to want to travel just to participate! 

If you know about a special Halloween event, please drop me an email so that I can let everyone else know, too.

Speak Your Mind
