Happy Halloween! This has always been one of my favorite "holidays." I love dressing up and decorating the house with the spider webs and skeleton bones, bats, anything that is scary!
Tonight, my husband tells me that I made it home just in time. I'm thinking to myself, in time for what? Dinner wasn't quite ready and we didn't have any plans. Well, he says, I was ready to turn on the porch light so the little kids would come knocking on our door for Halloween. I looked at him strangely and wondered what in the world he was talking about. Even with the porch light on, nobody has ever stopped by on Halloween. We have never had any little trick or treaters knocking on our door for candy. With a very serious face, he tells me that he was going to start handing my yarn out as goodies to the kids. There's plenty of yarn up here, he tells me, and when he ran out with what was upstairs, he was going to raid the yarn downstairs next.
My jaw did not hit the floor. I clenched my teeth. I know he was kidding, but the thought of anyone handing out my yarn was not a pleasant thought. I am sure any knitter, crocheter, or yarn stasher/hoarder/collector would not give up there yarn to anyone, let alone hand it out on Halloween instead of candy!
And while that funny joke of my husband's was rather scary on this All Hallows' Eve, I cannot help but wonder if I can go somewhere where they will give out yarn like candy on a special day of the year, just to see me dressed up in my knitted goods...
