This was the first of what I hope is many Halloweens with the man. He loves the holiday. I am sort of ambivalent about it. For instance, I would rather light myself on fire than put on a costume, he thinks of something to dress up as every year to hand out candy. I use candy for decoration (OK, I am eating some of the candy corn now...) he stockpiles it because he loves to eat it. I am happy with a few pumpkins and a Halloween tree, he has a plethora of Halloween decorations and relishes putting them all out. He picks out pumpkins to carve, I pick up cans of pumpkin to cook with. You get the point.
While these differences seem like they are vast, I think that they balance us. While I doubt that I will ever be convinced to dress up, and he will be able to see pumpkins as a food source, we can certainly meet in the middle. That is the great thing about this relationship. We are able to compromise.
In the meantime, he is picking out the perfect Christmas cookie recipe, and I am looking for the perfect pair of boots...
