When I started the Countdown, obviously a bit on the early side, I had this nagging sense that it wasn't really feeling like the Halloween season. Even today, I had a similar conversation with a friend, and we just chalked it up to us both being loser 9-5'ers, unable to partake in the season's wealth of spooky spirits. But, as I drove home tonight, I couldn't help noticing house after house after house decked with orange lights, spooky inflatables, carved pumpkins and mass mayhem. Like, more so than usual for this neighborhood. People like us, you and me, we'll "live" Halloween no matter what. We'll force it into our life, kicking and screaming. Still, it's nice to know that we've finally hit that point in the year where I can fill my grocery store wagon with all three General Mills monster cereals and not catch a glance.
Know what else is nice? Knowing that the best is yet to come. Enjoy tonight's Halloween Countdown article -- a review of an old Halloween-themed episode of Perfect Strangers.
