100 Days of Wonder – #27

The countdown to Halloween starts now (I have been so restrained, you’re getting a very short count down indeed!). I love Halloween. That’s also an adult development. I don’t remember it being a thing in Germany at all and I can’t really remember how, when or why I started ‘doing’ Halloween. The first time we really decorated the house might have been while I was experiencing full on depression for the first time and I was off work and bored but not really capable of much. I made some Disney themed decorations and some bat garlands. This year we have a new Halloween Centre Piece: A Nightmare Before Christmas Lego set. We built it earlier this month over a few days and it was the perfect start to an autumnal and beautiful October and a great way to help get over Covid. It’s sitting on a shelf in our living room and makes me smile every time I look at it. A little bit of spooky magic to find wonder and joy in every day. That is until we take it down and pack it away for next year when it will again bring its own magic but also that of the memories we made this year.
