Celebrating The Patron Saint of High Fructose Corn Syrup
Halloween: an ancient tradition in which the villagers spend too much time thinking about and making costumes for their kids, running around to all the craft stores in town and neglecting household chores.
Halloween is an interesting holiday, another one of those holidays from Western Christian tradition that was originally a pagan festival of harvests and dead people, two things the pagans really liked to celebrate. The old clergy got a little itchy at the thought of everyone dancing naked in the woods and drinking too much mead or whatever so they created All Saints Day, a holier than holy Christian holiday to make sure everyone dragged their butts out of bed and went to Mass the next day.
I just like the candy.
Look at Aria checking out that candy.

Adorable! Love the title of your post too – how true
Oh I miss the candy. I hope your princess collected a big bag full because I’d be afraid to try to raid that knight’s bag.
Wish I could have been there want to hear details
Oh, I just realized you don’t have much access to candy! Can I send you some???!!!
JJ! So happy to see you! Love your new blog.
Neither one of them lasted very long, lol. Oscar got a few pieces of candy and was ready to call it a night, ha ha.
