Dear Friends...
Today I have to rant a little about something that has taken over lovely October.
Skeletons.
I don't know about the trends in your part of the country, but in our parts we've been overrun with an obsession with skeletons during the entire month of October and it's really getting on my nerves!
October is a month of ushering in Autumn, falling leaves, changing colors and cool breezes. It's a time when we can take a walk, play at the park, visit a pumpkin patch and enjoy the upcoming holiday season.
But instead, every street is filled with skeletons!
Skeletons on fences, buried in yards, even in the Sonic drive-thru (attached to the speaker!!) and I'm so sick of it!
Do you know what skeletons represent? DEATH.
Are you celebrating DEATH?
Really? Because I would rather celebrate LIFE.
Why would anyone stage DEATH all over their yard, to come home every day to DEATH hanging out on your mailbox, your doorstep, the yard where your children play?
I think it's the perfect example of the demise of people's hearts.
In this country we've seen enough death and destruction. We don't need to display it in our own front yard or the city streets.
Thanks for listening...
Until Next Time...
Celebrate LIFE!
I'm with you about the skeletons. But I have been seeing them in various places (doing various things) since January and with more and more appearing through the summer and fall months. I don't understand this trend. Why aren't people celebrating life?
ReplyDeleteI agree. Our world is topsy turvy in a lot of ways!
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. None of it brings cheer. It is dark and depressing. I am enjoying the beauty of nature all around and trying to avoid going out more than necessary.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I never really never thought about it. We don't have skeletons at our house, just scarecrows, lol. Wishing you a lovely day. smiles
ReplyDeleteI agree! I've never enjoyed Halloween, and have always just decorated for Fall. We are traveling right now and have mentioned how many skeletons are all over. It has certainly increased. I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteI am not a Halloween person either. It does however, have a long history around the globe. https://www.bestproducts.com/lifestyle/a44614490/why-do-we-celebrate-halloween/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=mgu_ga_bp_md_pmx_hybd_mix_us_22873461031&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22873462498&gbraid=0AAAAADpdINRN7Ly3J3qe3PO-HOg1_wmSh&gclid=CjwKCAjwmNLHBhA4EiwA3ts3md-lPGP9A9-kQAKjFKXGJaphN2XdmrV2VjSUF_kVkffbJzz-D2vz3hoCljAQAvD_BwE
