Dee's Deliberations #14

"Too old for costumes? Not this witch. I'll be flying in style long after midnight strikes."

This week, Dee definitely has style. She totally rocks the color purple from her lips, eyes, and wig.

Unlike Dee, I'm not a costume gal, but I like to think I have style, lol. As an introvert, I prefer low-key celebrations. I'm more of a fan of Christmas decor than Halloween, but I do have a spooky ghost hanging on the front door. I enjoy seeing the children dressed in their costumes, and I have bagged treats ready for them. When we first moved into our house over thirty years ago, there were so many trick-or-treaters that we ran out of treats, so my husband went to the store to get more. But as those children grew, the amount of younger kids was less each year. With Halloween on a Saturday this year and the weather looking favorable, we have an extra bag of suckers just in case.

Enjoying Halloween's Simple Treats

Halloween is just around the corner, bringing excitement for little ghosts, superheroes, and princesses eager to fill their bags with treats. Some adults celebrate with costumes and parties, embracing the festive spirit in their own way.

But not every Halloween needs a crowd. If parties aren't your vibe, there is still plenty of magic to enjoy. Welcome the trick-or-treaters at your door and smile at their creative costumes. Later, settle in with your favorite spooky movie, a warm blanket, and a cozy treat.

Take a moment to remember that celebration comes in many forms. Maybe you're an extrovert who loves the excitement or an introvert who prefers quiet moments; Halloween has a place for everyone. Sometimes the best moments aren't the loud ones. They are the simple, still moments that you create for yourself.
