Halloween Traditions

November 1, 2008 at 3:29 AM

It's a funny holiday - Halloween. Adults dress in the strangest ways in the office. The office costumes are things like a blind referee, a "three hole punch", can-can dancers, and a few clowns. Everyone leaves work early to pick up the multiple bags of candy to hand out to the waves of children demanding sugar in its various forms at your front door, or to prepare their children to do the same throughout the night.

It is not a night to try to practice anything. However, it is a good night to listen to the local classical music station. The one out here in Portland does an excellent Halloween program, full of spookey and scary music. A great set of background music to try to scare the kids with.

Not a night for practice? Nah! Can't go a day without it!
