Jealous Much??

You know what makes me laugh with jealousy?
Commercials for Halloween candy!

You want to know why??

Because they always show these adorable little kiddos in their adorable little costumes trick-or-treating in the sunshine and daylight.
You're probably wondering what about this make me envious?
Why would a grown woman envy a child in a costume?

Well, it isn't the child so much as how they are portrayed.
This is how Halloween looks on tv:


This is what Halloween usually looks like in the Inland Northwest (where we live):


Do you see kids Trick-Or-Treating??
No??

That's because they are in their houses trying to figure out how to get their costume on over their snow suits.

Okay... Okay... so it doesn't ALWAYS snow ...
but for once we'd like to have a Halloween that wasn't freezing!

Makes me laugh... and want to move south.
