Team spooky all the way. It's spooky time from after the 4th of July until Halloween in my book!
(if Christmas gets to secede preceding months so do we dangit. Lately stores seem to agree, oddly enough.)
Our kiddo wandered up to the loft earlier this month. They pulled out the box of Halloween decorations and started setting them up. My partner and I looked on with pride.
There's nothing cozy about autumn. It's dark, cold and depressing. Even if there are sunny, warm days, the freezing cold nights remind you that it's just imitating summer. So if I have to deal with the death of summer and light, I can at least do it by celebrating the dark and having fun.
