I...don't have a Halloween icon.
Aug. 15th, 2011 12:12 pmI find my lack of a Halloween icon disturbing. Needs must remedy that.
I went into Bath & Body Works this weekend to find they're already flogging their Halloween wares, and ended up dropping waaaaay too much on Halloween-themed soaps and the like. So...weak...against...Halloween...stuff. Friends and family both commented, with an edge of concern about this fixation. I cannot say their concern is misplaced.
I had this idea, once, that Heaven is a giant house where every room is something different. In one room, it's always Christmas, always the coziest, most well-decorated, cookie-smelling, presents-unwrapping Christmas ever. In another, it's a portal unto the ocean, where you can float and swim with the fishes to your heart's content. I just really liked the idea that Heaven is a collection of your favorite moments that exist, ready to be enjoyed, whenever you and forever. I'm beginning to think my Heaven would have another room, one where it's always Halloween. There's someplace where "Monster Mash" is always playing (and never gets old), and there are orange, green, purple, and black decorations as far as the eye can see. A punch bowl is softly bubbling over with fog like a witch's cauldron, and there's candy and spooks to be had.
Until such time as I reach this Heaven, I will have to make do with my metal doohickey that slides over a normal soap dispenser to make it look like it's shrouded in spider webs. I love Halloweeeeeeeen!!!!
