As immature as this may sound Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I do consider it a holiday. I like scaring myself silly by watching scary movies, I enjoy playing pranks on and scaring my friends, I love decorating in ghoulish purple, black, orange, red and blue and I get very happy and excited when I see houses / businesses fabulously decorated for Halloween.

Fewer houses / businesses are decorated this year in deference to the recession and the lousy economy, but there are still plenty of folks who have the halloween spirit. We went to Stats (a decoration emporium) to see the latest in decorations and they had some outlandish decorations that I wished I could afford. If I'd only win the lottery!
