My house is dark and scary on a sunny day - no decorations of any kind since I retired the lace ghosts. I'll make sure there are no lights visible from the street and spend the evening in peace.
Today I shopped for what I'll be making a new tradition, my own take on the Day of the Dead. Tomorrow there will be lasagna, music, beer and fond memories.
Tonight, I'll pamper my cold with a stitch in and sketching out a new novel. I'm going to back this with a cotton batt so I can do something with all that white space. organize it with stitch.

Fortunately, here the kids still dress primarily in sweet princess and ninja turtle costumes and are more than happy to sing out a cheery Trick or Treat followed by a chorus of laughter and Thank You's and Happy Halloweens! Add to that a steaming bowl of home made chili and delightful company and you got the makings of a lovely holiday evening!
All Souls day is a better celebration in my mind, celebrating ancestors and lighting the dark.
