Long Live Halloween!

I just want to gripe for a minute about how fast stores are shutting down the holidays. You put items out so early and then take them away early and go on to the next holiday. Halloween was here and there was some great stuff in the stores and now, 3 days after the 31st stores are tearing down Halloween! This is quite sad indeed. Even neighbors are taking down their decorations.  I have to admit, I'm a lingerer. I hold onto the holidays as much as I can. It makes me sad when there is nothing to look forward to or to look at to make me smile. So long live Halloween! I will enjoy it always, and live it each day!
