It's that time of year again when all the ghosts and goblins apear. The time when the fall is beginning to be celebrated!
Today is the day when people all over the world take the opportunity to become someone else.
This is the one day a year that people can dress up and not be considered screwed up in the head.
People take their children Trick or Treating, and some (like me) thake their dogs. It is a time to have fun and a time to remember the dead.
In many other cultures that is what Halloween was all about. Tomorrow is All Saints Day, thus today has been called for many years All Hallow's Eve. Now i'm going going to give a lesson on the history of Halloween but I think over the years it has gotten a bad rap. The "church" has made it all about satan and evil and it was never meant to be that way.
I think that we should just leave tradition alone! That is what is wrong with people today. No sense of tradition.
People don't take the time anymore to establish traditions with in their own homes and family's .
It is good for our children to have traditions and even to start new traditions with our children in mind or to allow us to start them with our children. It gives them a sense of belonging and family. It helps to bond the family unit. And if you begin the tradition before the kids are born or when they are very small then you have given them a sense of something greater.
Families today are failing to bring responsibe adults into this world. We are failling our children! They are killing each other and their parents! If we could just teach the next generation about values...the value of human life and the value of family, our country would be a much better place to live.
WOW I was really on my soap box there.
Okay well this has been quite a rant, so for now I'll close... keep checking back on baby progress! We are so excited about our Little Bean!
