It's...

kinda sad, when I think to myself that I won't be trick or treating this year.

I know...I know...You are probably thinking, "You? A 26-year old going TOT?" Well, my dear friends, it's just one of those traditions that I hate to break. My dad and I use to go together and my sister for the most part, but there was just something special about the night, going door to door, getting candies, showing off your costume, freezing your butt off, running through dried up leaves, and sometimes falling flat on your face since you accidently tripped on your outfit.

Those were the days.

More than likely, or it's aiming to be that way, that when Jassen and I have kids in a few years(3-4 years), I would want them to experience Halloween, maybe going through my old neighbourhood. I think for the first few years, might just throw small parties(very small), but when they get to the age of 4 or 5+, then head over to the states to visit and im sure my dad would still want to go with us.:-)

I'm also thinking of Thanksgiving, but not in the Pilgrim sense....more or less the family together-ness of it all, and of course Christmas is a must(for our offsprig). I am still and probably will be pretty sad about not going home for Christmas this year, but it will be made up in January, after the Christmas rush is said and done at work.:-)

People(customers, etc) are already Christmas shopping this year, but still I think it's going to be one of the busiest Christmas seasons this year. I found that if I started getting gifts around this time or early November, that I ended up spending more money in the long run on people. Last year, I was bad and spent somewhere along the lines of 500 in total, which is ALOT for me, considering I was only doing part time work(30 hours).:-/

I think, if I can, I will wait to spend money until im in the states, since really the only people I get gifts for are Jassen, my parents, and my sister, and a couple of friends. Im glad I dont have a million friends or I would end up really really in debt.:-p

Alright, I best start to get ready for work!

Talk later.:-)
