Who’s starting to get excited about Halloween?

Me!

We bought our halloween candy last weekend. But then the hubster had to hide it from me (I made him). I was all like - I can totally handle having a huge bowl of candy in the house for more than a week. Uh, not so much.

We bought six - yes 6 - bags of candy. We’re new to this whole trick-or-treat thing as this is the first time we’ve ever lived in a house not an apartment. Still, the hubster thinks we need to go back and get TWICE as much candy. 12 bags of candy?!?!

Anyway (I admit, when I started this post I had no idea it was going to lead this way…) my favorite part about Halloween isn’t really Halloween itself, but it does lead to my favorite season–A SEASON OF EATING!!

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Mmm-mmm time to gorge like a pig.

The hubster is already salivating at the thought of my yummy Thanksgiving dinner. Me, I’ve decided that I’m going to make homemade fudge for Xmas this year (last night I started naming all the kinds I was going to make - the hubster left the room shaking his head…).

And yes, I’m crazy, but I’m already starting to fret about Xmas presents (no, our Halloween costumes aren’t finished yet). Both what I’m going to ask for and what I’m going to get others. Last year, I had ALL of my shopping done the day after Thanksgiving - yes, I’m one of those people. This year, we’re headed into NYC on the day after Thanksgiving. Should be crazy. Crazy fun!

What’s your favorite time of year? Holiday? Are you stressing about Xmas presents already or do you do your shopping Xmas eve? What are you being for Halloween?
