No, young lady, Christmas is the best holiday, not Halloween

Halloween versus Christmas

 Central Oregonian

Some say that the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. After watching my daughter in action during the month of October, I tend to agree with this saying. She started that month (or possibly ended the previous month) by stocking up on spooky Halloween decorations. Before I knew it, she had strung fake cobwebs throughout the front yard, placed a few foam tombstones along the flower beds and added some plastic eyeballs to the lawn for good measure. Our front door was cloaked in a thin plastic ghost-themed covering.

Her indoor décor wasn't quite so extravagant — well, it wasn't until the last weekend of October when she threw herself a Halloween party. She planned the whole thing — what to eat, games, activities and of course, decorations. She led a trick-or-treat crew through the neighborhood and everything. Her parents? — we just provided adult supervision and got the heck out of the way.
