Halloween Fever

The air is crisp, leaves are turning and falling, and the holiday season is soon approaching. With a little less than a month to go before Halloween, costume stores have started popping up everywhere. People are eagerly getting started on their search for the perfect costume. Although the spooky night is weeks away, many people aren't waiting until the last second. Even in the middle of the afternoon, costume stores are full of customers trying to get their hands on what they're looking for before the selection is too slim. There's just something about dressing up that's fun for both the young and old.For the young, they get to be whatever they want to be and for the old its like being a kid again. For everyone in between its just plain fun. Purple lights begin to adorn houses, along with giant webs with spiders inside. Neighborhoods go all out, trying to out spook each other. It is a fun time for many, and for others its just another night. I may or may not agree with it, but it still doesn't change one particular fact- there's just something spooky about those black cats.
