A message from Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community Interim Pastor, Sally Jo:
People say that after the Christmas season, the most decorative time of the year is Halloween. From my noticing of the neighborhood and surrounding communities, it is accurate. In my observation, skeletons seem to be the rage this season.
Of course, there is the popular giant skeleton, which in some instances stays around all year, sporting a Santa hat, Terrible Towel, or swimsuit depending on the season. Many yards feature a plethora of smaller skeletons sitting on chairs, lounging on porch steps, posed in athletic competition; two of my neighbors have yards bedecked with all the monsters of the slasher films: Freddy, Jason, and Michael. Joining them are scary clowns, demons on swings, and ghouls of assorted varieties. I confess, it’s a fright for me just walking by in the daylight. |
