Adult holidays aren't nearly as fun as I remember my childhood holidays. My mom did an amazing job of getting the house overwhelmingly decorated with Halloween items. Back in the day McDonald's used to place the items of a Happy Meal in these little plastic buckets that were witches or pumpkins, and my personal favorite, the glow-in-the-dark ghostie! Mom worked hard and made holidays memorable. However, as a single and often overworked chicka, decorating is not on the top of my priority list. One night on my own I did make the effort to get my small collection of cute out and around my apartment. But honestly as time comes to put it away, I am sincerely saddened by the lack of time and attention available in mine and other's personal lives. Decorating shouldn't be a chore. Nesting and creating an atmosphere of celebration for the holiday, any holiday, needs to be more of a priority. It forces us to clean and organize our regular space. And the nostalgia of pulling the same items out for the next few years makes me excited for the future.
