We Wish You A Merry Halloween
"We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a..."
I wriggle in bed, wrinkling my face and grunting. Somewhere between unconscious and conscious.
"Rudolph the red nose reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if..."
I roll over, stretching, inhaling deeply and lingering in sleep.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the..."
I sit upright in bed, look to my left and see the red digital numerals 6:41...as in AM. Huh? What? Am I dreaming? No. Those sounds are too close, too real.
"...way. Oh what fun it is to ride..."
Uh uh. What? It's October 31. I'm certain. Wait, those are Christmas songs. Shaking my head I ask myself, "Am I awake?"
"Moooommmmmmm, I am hungry!"
I am so awake.
Slowly my feet hit the floor and I begin the trek downstairs...groggy and giggly. The boys are playing Christmas music.
"Guys, what are you doing?" I ask mid-yawn.
"We're listening to Christmas music" replies Lee.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because", answers Mac, "We don't know any Halloween carols."
"Oh. Who wants pancakes for breakfast?" I inquire.
"Me, I am very hungry" Wil answers.
From our family to yours, have a fun and merry Halloween.
~~~
And a Merry Halloween to you too. I do hope it's wonderful.

Each holiday should be exciting, shouldn't it?? Too bad there are no Halloween carols, unless you count:
trick or trick
smell my feet
give me something good to eat
if you don't
i don't care
i'll just pull down your underwear!
:D
Ah....the memories!

You'd think they would've come up with some kind of Halloween songs by now. It's weird.

It's highly appropriate because Target has Christmas decorations out.

Duh, Mom. Why else would we be playing Christmas songs in October? : P

Christmas carols are good all year round! Maybe the boys can compose their own Halloween songs for enxt year. :o) Happy Halloween!

LOL. Kids are priceless.

They should definitely write some Halloween carols. I bet they'd sell a million.

Hope you and the lads had a Happy Halloween. I have been known to do housework in the middle of July with Christmas Carols playing at full on my stereo so as to rise about the sound of the hoover as she hums. They always cheer me up!

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate~
The first one said "Oh, my it's getting late"
The second one said "There are witches in the air"
The third one said "but we don't care"
The fourth one said "Let's run and run and run"
The fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun."
ooooooooo went the wind and out went the light...
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

LOL, sorry about that double post. I thought I had previewed it before it posted, but I guess not.

This made me laugh because I have to hide the Christmas CDs or my son would play them EVERYDAY. ALL. YEAR. LONG. No lie.

I just keep hearing the "trick or treat, smell my feet..." song over and over from Jackson. Some Christmas carols would be lovely! :)
