We love Halloween, a ridiculous amount. My little sister hates it, and never dresses up, which I just cannot understand. P and I wait all year for the one night that we .can dress up and relive our high school drama glory days, yet still blend right in with the Wall Street crowd. All of us, anonymous, goofy, enchanting; pretending that it's acceptable for grown-ups to go out in public dressed as angels, sexy inmates, vampires and the rest.
Along with the dressing up, we decorate every year. October 1st (P made me wait), we pulled out our old lights, and went to Target to stock up on webs, gummy mice, and spiders. The spiders promptly invaded the lamp, while the mice neste
d on top of the television and on the window.Our hearth (by hearth, I mean television console) is a dark menagerie of candles, pumpkins, and candy corn.
And this ghoulish display, craftily engineered by P, greets visitors from the street:
It would be nice if we had children, and could blame them for this obsession.
Oh well.
I guess we'll just have to own up to our demons.
