1. pumpkins!!! pumpkins everywhere! lit up on stoops, in giant bins outside of grocery stores, in your cheesecake, lattes, bread, muffins... pumpkins all around.
2. candy corn. also, candy pumpkins (see above). especially when your future mother-in-law, who is always laughing at your boyfriend for being weird, tells about how just last week she was hanging out with her friends and put candy corn "fangs" in.
3. leaves. in many colors. blowing around like multi-color confetti in the wind. speaking of wind, it turns out it's something the tri-cities specializes in.
4. candy everywhere. all the time, all over the place. chocolate, nerds, caramels, suckers. everything. everywhere.
5. costumes. of course. the best part is being able to wear jeans to work. :) and, of course, it's the one day a year that i don fake eyelashes.
6. corn maizes!!! !!! !!!!! ah, the flashlight fun. the costumed weirdos stalking you in the middle of nowhere with toy chainsaws. the corn cobs flying through the air. the way, when you're done, you can no longer feel your ass because your choice to wear the costume with the mini skirt was a very very poor one. i love love love corn maizes.
7. parties. including and especially drinking. alcohol. especially since the calories gained by the candy aren't nearly plentiful enough.
8. trick-or-treating. i hear it's so much fun. getting candy for free from strangers. the one time i've gone, my favorite part was being able to see into people's houses and see how they live and decorate. yes, i know i'm twisted.
9. cute kids in costumes. because there's not excuse enough to dress a baby up as a bumble bee.
10. BEING ABLE TO CELEBRATE IT!!!!! kicks ass.
