On Thursday I received notification that I could print out two tickets for the parade celebration at Citizen’s Bank Park. I was so excited that I took off work on Friday.
Well reality sorta set in on Thursday evening and I came to the realization that I could sell these tickets for $50 and spend the day on the couch with my baby boy. And that’s exactly what we did.
It was a fantastic day.
I watched my Phillies parade down Broad St. with my boy in my arms and my pal at my side. I set the house up for the Trick-or-Treaters with some spider webs, black lights and scary paper lanterns. We carved a HUGE pumpkin and Kristen made her best pumpkin seeds to date. Kyle got dressed up like pizza and was absolutely adorable. My brother brought over some pies and Frank showed up with some drinks. The Wilson’s came over and we handed out 8 bags of candy. Later in the evening we had tons of Johnny Jump-Ups and a bottle of Champagne. We watched Arthur’s Scary Stories, Garfield Halloween, Cannibal Ferox and Halloween. I woke up with no pants on in the bar at 4:30.
It was a great night.
Now that Halloween is gone I am really looking forward to Christmas. I’ve already dusted off the Peanuts soundtrack along with some Bing Crosby. Last night we watched Deck the Halls and had our first Winter Lagers. Life is good. I hope I don’t get burnt out on all of this Holiday Hooplah but I’ll worry about that later. For now I’ll track down a copy of A Motown Christmas, read about the origins of Seven Fishes and determine the best way to roast a chestnut.
