What bugs me about Halloween

The graveyard in the pit of despair always looks, well, desperate, but not in that creepy kind of way.


Even though the foyer is crawling with 200 tiny plastic spiders, it still looks a little benign.


I buy too much candy which forces me, the football player and the mercenary to eat it all.


My efforts to be festive for the holiday.....Big Daddy with his pull along, beer filled cooler.....The peeps in their costumes and I in mine.......the foyer decorated for Halloween enjoyment.....


....seems a little unappreciated when the parents of the trick-or-treaters glare at me when I make their kids pet my bird in order to get candy.

Wouldn't that bug you too?

You know Big Daddy's political career is over ... I've seen what a photo can do ... BTW, craftier says, "A little dry ice under the foliage and a few body parts poking out would get that graveyard going and wrap the railings and posts in black, orange and purple netting. You need dramatic (like the mask) those little buggies get lost otherwise."

How many have Peeped here?
