Halloween is finally here, time to bring out the fake webs, Pumpkin Spice Candles, beanies, pumpkins, candy, plaid shirts, and scary movies. Time to bundle up on a chilly night and make yourself a cup of coffee while you shiver under your blanket as you watch HalloweenTown for the four time. Tis the season to dress up as scary monsters and walk around the neighborhood saying three simple words for a piece of delicious candy. And the season for hoping we get a spooky basket or Halloween dipped strawberries as we all see on Twitter. The smell of freshly carved pumpkins and apple cider fills the crisp air. Time for buying bags and bags of candy to pass out to kids, Halloween parties and family get-togethers. As we all know this year is a little different. There may not be as many people to pass out candy, fewer Trick-Or-Treaters out walking the neighborhood streets and fewer kids dressing up. But what will always be there is the feeling that Halloween brings; the constant excitement for sticky candy, the movies that make you scream and the chilly, windy nights. The spirit of Halloween will never die.
