I love Halloween. LOVE it! It’s probably my third favorite day; behind Christmas and my birthday. Now, if I could only figure out how to get gifts from people on Halloween… The term Halloween (and its alternative rendering Hallowe’en) is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of “All …
Please keep in mind, as you watch the following video that it does not at all do justice to the real deal. But it’s better than nothing. I’m still recovering from the weekend as a whole (the older I get, the longer it takes) so I’m going to make it …
