DAYS TO HALLOWEEN: 30
And then there was ONE! Welcome to October, folks! I meant to post on here last night as we were in the waning hours of September, but I fell asleep and it didn't happen, so this morning we get the "condensed" version.
I am always sad every single year to watch September go. The end of September not only means that I get a year older (Birthday is on the 26th), but also that we have "lost" one of the "Ber" months. Sometimes I wish that it could be The Bers all year, even though I know that's not realistic. When I "started" Jack O Lantern Days in 2020, it was my intention to have a little bit of everything Autumn on that day, and over time it organically turned into more of a "Mini Halloween" than anything else. Which is completely fine because Tom Turkey Day also does a great job of bringing in the Fall / Thanksgiving feels. But the big point here I'm trying to make is that we can't have ANY of the special Holidays that we love without having them all in a row like we do now.
I remember a few years back one of the conversations was what if some of the holidays were "moved" to where there wasn't the huge "drop off" after December 25th where everything just kind of came to a crashing halt. And as nice as that would seem, It wouldn't feel "right". We say goodbye to the holiday season after Christmas is over, and even though January is long and dark, our "batteries", so to speak, are re-charging and that energy that I feel for the first batch of MMC Special Days that month I think is amongst some of the "highest" out of the entire year. It feels exciting yet challenging to be embarking on another journey that will take us back to everything we love. One of the things I look forward to discussing over the "off season" is all of the "Big Moments" and special days that we look forward to throughout the year.
Thanks for the long read and welcome to October! OUR month, as Halloween Fans is finally here! Have a great day!
