Spooky Time!

If the amount of horror movies didn't tip you off it is October. It's the month when cooking channels, restaurants, and coffee shops go overboard with pumpkin related food. This is also hell if you're allergic pumpkins, which I am not.

I don't know about you but I both love and hate this time of year. In one way everyone is putting in a lot of effort to make October both a scary and fun time. But then you have companies that are over doing it with the commercialization of the holiday and it gets even worse during December. Plus there's the big problem with female costumes which I shall rant about in another post.

Anyway, greedy America isn't focusing on the important part which is to just have fun. It's not about making people gain weight with pumpkin products it's about coming up with new ways to retell a scary story. Or creating new scary legends of your own. But that doesn't matter to companies, it's what they believe will sell and how they can continue to profit from it.

So I have to wonder when someone says, "Getting into the Halloween Spirit" are they talking about themselves or what companies continue to put out? Because the "Halloween Spirit" keeps changing like the color of the leaves. But that being said I do hope everyone has a good October.
