Fall is my favorite season and October, my favorite month. I realized last Saturday that I forgot something; the weather change, or something associated with it, gives me a cold, or makes my allergies act up, or something, for about a week. *snifflecough* What a damper on the eve of my most manic season.
I've recently noticed that relatively few acknowledge Halloween as a holiday, which is lame, because it's my favorite holiday. Corporations could easily pick up the holiday, which is currently luffing. For political reasons I will leave out one of the reasons this holiday is losing it's luster, but another is the probably unintentional combined actions of chemical companies and cheap candy givers. 'Candy companies' that try to pass of nearly toxic waste as an edible treat, and the people that buy it for pennies a pound to try and pawn off as a gift for costumed children on a quest for tasty riches. If you were going to give them poorly wrapped mystery tar, please just punch the young adventurers in the mouth instead. Seriously, it will save them the time, and good candy necessary to cope with these candylike abominations. They will just loose a tooth or two up front instead of pulling their own teeth out a handful at a time by trying to open their jaw, after locking their teeth together with with the fun-banishing compound who's lingering taste requires a dozen good candies to counter. I guess I went off on a tangent there; Halloween needs the help of good candy.
More importantly, if Halloween were more widely perceived as a holiday certain companies may try to market for it. In a parallel universe, where Halloween is an official holiday, the Wii released mid October. I mentioned I'm excited about the Wii right?
