Halloween reminds me of fall in Virginia when I was a kid. I love South Florida, but I miss the chill in the air and the leaves turning at this time of year up north.

It seems way more spooky in a real fall setting

Christmas is bizarre in Miami too. People get really out of control with decorations and lights, maybe trying to make the warm weather feel more Christmasy.

It would usually snow by Halloween up in Northern Michigan; let me tell you, trick-or-treating was no fun when it was cold enough to snow.

Christmastime is odd here in Texas too, but the light displays can really be something. Since there's no snow here, people put Christmas lights all through their yards, along the edges of lawns, etc. The wife and I love to go driving through some of the neighborhoods just to look at the lights.

Now I'm really going to bed, good night!
