Day before Halloween

The picture in the previous post is of my son. The original is much more boring and involves a porch and my knee. Not a very appropriate setting for a devil. Photoshop to the rescue.

Halloween, I have never truly understood the appeal of this "holiday." I understand the historical significance of the day and it's roots in gaelic/celtic traditions, as well as how the Catholic church incorporated it as well. I do not understand, however, why it is such a popular holiday today.

What I do know about this holiday, is that the number of times that my wife and I can choose his costume for him is pretty much limited to about 3, and we didn't dress him up at all last year. We might have one year left. After that, I am sure he will want to be a ninja/football player/flavor of the year. Anyway, we thought he should be the benevolent giver of toys, but there are not many Santa suits to be found around Halloween, and most definitely none that fit a 15 month old. "Santa" and "Satan" only differ by moving around an "n," so... close enough.

Oh well, it is time to sign off.

Enjoy
