Heart of the Matter Friday Meme

Posted by Angela | 0 comments

Welcome to the Heart of the Matter Online meme. Every Friday we will feature a different topic for our meme. Mr. Linky is set up below so please share with us your thoughts on the following statement: Halloween or Fall? How does your family celebrate?

Anyone who knows me knows that I love hot summer weather. Fall starts and I start getting cranky–especially if it’s an election year! This year I have felt my heart stirring. I have found myself gazing at the changing leaves, spending time pulling up the remnants of Spring from our flower beds and enjoying the cooler temperatures. (Okay, we’re talking in the 70s range…the 20s-40s is still for the birds!)

Each year we join our church community for their Fall Festival. The kids enjoy dressing up, playing Fall games and of course, banking as much candy as possible in an evening. We spend the actual Halloween night watching movies and enjoying ‘family time’. What does your family do? Are you traditional trick-or-treaters? Do you have a local carnival or church celebration? Perhaps you celebrate the Reformation–or nothing at all? If you do nothing, what are some of the wonderful Fall traditions that your family has? Share with us!
