Only 82 days!
Today in textiles me and some friends were discussing Halloween and Christmas.
I hate Halloween and they love it. We both agreed Christmas is just lovely but Halloween seemed to be a "controversial" holiday.
The reasons I hate Halloween are as follows:
1. It's scary and spooky.
2. It's dark. (not like, light and dark but more...almost emotionally dark)
3. There are bloody and grotesque costumes.
4. It's creepy.
5. I don't get warm fuzzies when I think of it. (unlike Christmas)
6. The only "tradition" involved is carving pumpkins and even that's dying.
So overall, you could say that I don't particularly enjoy Halloween. Although that would be an understatement.
Perhaps it's the mood I'm in but I can't seem to say anything positive today. Ok, how about this.
There are fun things about Halloween though. The candy and the dressing up, handing out candy is my favourite! So I'm not a total cynic.
But moving on to Christmas! Hooray!
I love Christmas.
Christmas is a time of giving, getting, warm hearts, happy hearts, christmas movies, cozy fires, carols, snow, traditions, decorating and so much more! And those are only some of the things that Christmas is. I can't help but want to burst into dance and song at the thought of Christmas!
So while I dread the "long awaited" Halloween I can be thinking about how Christmas will be just around the corner.
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas."
