Halloween

Am I the only one who has noticed Halloween has a smell? It's not quite fall, not quite winter, but it has it's very own smell. Every year, way back as long as I can remember, I leave the house on Halloween and there is a smell, like wood burning or burning leaves but fresh air too. I LOVE that smell. Every year I look forward to that most of all.

We have started a new Halloween tradition. We leave in the morning to Trick or Treat at Doug's work then head over to Patti's building. Symantec hosts this huge Trick or Treating alley that everyone participates in. All of the offices, the cubicles and the receptionist have candy for the kids, the big wigs dress up in costumes so no one knows who they are and greet the kids at the door, there is a fun no-to-scary spook alley for the kids, and when they leave they get yet another treat bag. The best part is that it's inside so I don't have to freeze my ass off while the kids go door to door!
