Happy Misgivings Day!

Happy Misgivings Day, fiends! Today marks the official kick off to Halloween season as decreed by Ghoul Friday. Though many of us have been prepping for Halloween for months now, it is nice to have a day where we pause and really do something fun in honor of the Halloween season!

It has been hot, hot, hot in SoCal the whole summer, but especially this weekend. Yesterday it was over 100 degrees(!!), so it definitely doesn't feel like autumn or Halloween season yet. Last Misgivings Day I was sipping on pumpkin tea and wrapping myself up in blankets, but this year it has been a bit of a struggle to get into the spirit with this crazy heat! Makes me wish I lived elsewhere with cooler autumn temperatures and fall foliage.

However, I have been working feverishly on Halloween posts for my 31 Days of Halloween and seeing more and more Halloween items in stores, so that makes me happier despite the heat!

This weekend I have been blasting the A/C to simulate an autumn chill, burning pumpkin scented Ecoscents and re-watching some of my favorite Halloween kid flicks, including vintage cartoons and the Halloweentown series. I wanted to bake, but it is just too hot to turn on the oven. Instead, I opted for some Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale (it's vegan and delicious!).

What did you do this Misgivings Day weekend?

It is nearly time for the annual Misgivings Day, created by Halloween haunter and boo-tiful blogger Ghoul Friday! Misgivings Day falls on the 7th Sunday before Halloween (this year it is this upcoming Sunday, September16th) and acts as the official kick-off to the spooky season.

I know we have all probably been celebrating the upcoming Halloween season for months now (I know it isn't just me!), but I love having this kick off where bloggers come together to share some Halloween-y activities they participate in to herald the spectacular autumn season!

So don't forget to post a little something this Sunday so we can all share how we celebrated Misgivings Day!

Happy Misgivings Day!

If you love Halloween as much as I do, you've probably already started getting into the Halloween spirit. However, today was the official Halloween kick-off day for the spooky season as decreed by Ghoul Friday herself!

If you're into Halloween, you are probably already well-acquainted with haunter-extraordinaire Ghoul Friday (if not, go to her spookilicious site right now! Go on, I'll wait for you, even though it might be a while since she has so much awesome stuff on there...) and last year she decided that the 7th Sunday before Halloween (that was today, dear fiends) would be known as "Misgivings Day" and the official kick-off to the Halloween season.

Misgivings Day is all about celebrating the approaching autumn season and getting into the spirit of Halloween! Whether it's baking some fall-inspired treats, working on Halloween decorations (or, if you're a haunter, props), enjoying some tasty pumpkin spice tea and/or watching some Halloween horror films, it's the season to be spooky!

To be honest, I completely forgot about the holiday until I saw a fellow blogger's post, but luckily I was already doing my Halloween thing all day long anyway, despite being a bit under the weather! Today, I worked on planning and writing posts for my annual "31 Days of Halloween", had some yummy, autumn-inspired chili, burned some pumpkin-scented candles and of course drank pumpkin spice tea all day long (which was perfect for the cold I'm currently fighting)! Oh, and I was watching The Twilight Zone all day too! A very nice Halloween-inspired Misgivings Day, don't you think?

Did you do anything Halloween-y this weekend?
