One of my favorite holidays is Halloween. There is no other holiday where you can dress up to be any crazy (or sane) creature. This year we didn't dress up, but I remember two years ago when we met Mel and some of her friends at a State Street restaurant. I went as a black cat and Mark as Harry Potter- Course we were just starting to date then. We left state street before 9pm and saw all of the odd costumes we wanted too- course that was the year before the big riots. Last year on State Street there was a large amount of vandalism by partyers around one AM. This year the police cleared the streets with pepper spray around midnight.

Anyway, we didn’t get dressed up this year, but instead dressed up our food. We had turkey-herb hot dogs with red sauerkraut, and blue mashed potatoes while we watched our candles burn in our pumpkins. That morning Mark and I exchanged small presents of sweets- a very nice way to celebrate such a fun holiday!
