Halloween is Not Even Here Yet

And so many people are focused on Christmas!
I watch the interest begin
to peak
and grow this time 
of year.

As soon as the weather begins
to go cooler
it is inevitable
that people begin
to think of the holidays.

Maybe it just missing 
family.
Maybe it the
crispness of it all.
The layering of clothes
and the hats and scarves.

I know that I get cozy
instantly.
I begin to dream
of holidays past
and spending priceless
moments
with family nonstop.

And Halloween has nothing to do about it.
