I can’t believe that tomorrow’s Halloween. The whole month of October has flown by. I know that it’s something that old people say about how time gets faster as you get older, but it’s true. I guess it’s time for my back pill now.

But I’m ready. I have my t-shirt that says, “I’m here for the boos.” I have my festive ghost socks. I have my CD of music from the Charlie Brown Halloween special. I’m ready.

What I’d like — even if it’s not entirely realistic — is for time to Slow. Down. I’m all for Mondays going a bit faster, but I’d like to enjoy my weekends.

It’s weird to think about back when I was little and holidays like Halloween and Christmas seemed to take FOREVER to get here. I could hardly bring myself to wait that long. Now it’s like I turn around twice and it’s over until next year.

I guess the solution is to make every day a holiday — to make every day special, because every day you get to be alive and experience God’s grace is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present.

So Happy Halloween Eve. I feel like if Christmas has Christmas Eve, then Halloween should have Halloween Eve. It should be a thing.
