Last night on an evening run (yeah, I occasionally partake in fitness activities, why are you rolling your eyes like that?), I noticed that my neighborhood is just bursting with Halloween decorations. Maybe it’s because I am post-college but pre-children, but I don’t remember ever putting up Halloween decorations as a kid. Like, maybe a jack-o-lantern and a paper cut-out skeleton on the door?

But some of the the seasonal decorations I passed by were… a little much. Like, blood-smeared windows, and extremely life-like zombies bursting forth from graves in front yards, and just miles and miles of that nasty faux-spiderweb crap, blocking entrances and ruining perfectly nice trees.

And NOW I find out that not only are people putting up HALLOWEEN LIGHTS, but they are choreographing their Halloween lights to a Korean pop song that will likely be forgotten about before Halloween even gets here? WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD???
