Welcome to October

We Can't Wait For You To Come Over

Welcome to October

Where rusted colored leaves cascade from trees

And spooky decorations clutter streets

Welcome to October

Where all the pumpkins wear jagged faces

And the gourds are put out on places

Like porches and horror themed bookcases

Welcome to October

Where the smell of pumpkin spice competes with

The smokey breeze of a bonfire filled night

Welcome to October

Where the ghouls and witches come out to play,

The masks and costumes are out on display,

And haunted houses are where guests will stay

Welcome to October

Where the earthy taste of chili lingers

And the sweetest candy is devoured

Welcome to October

Where you can listen to "The Monster Mash"

As you succumb to a sugary crash

While enjoying our Halloween bash

Welcome to October

Where the festive energy pulls you in

And the goosebumps on your skin never end

So pack your favorite fall themed sweater

And subscribe to our weekly newsletter

Because there is no place on Earth better

Than October, and we can't wait to have you over
