How to Properly Prepare for Halloween

Watch Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus.


Halloween isn’t Halloween without the King of the pumpkin patch and Bette Midler.

Decorate your room.

Streamers and ghosts and skulls, oh my!

Carve pumpkins!

I know I’m making a Trumpkin this year. Happy Hilloween!

Incorporate orange into all of your outfits.

Orange is the new black, y'all.

Buy every fall air-freshener you can find.

Even if it’s 90 degrees in Oklahoma, it's fall in your room!

Listen to a Halloween dance party playlist.

We all know you dance to Thriller when your roommate leaves. No judgement.

Try on all of the food costumes at Target.


Work it.


Buy candy at the dollar store in advance.

One word. DISCOUNTS.

Bake Pillsbury ghost cookies.

For some reason sugar cookies just taste better with ghosts on them.

Pinterest DIY costumes.

If only I could find a way to look like a coffee cup… Totally not because I have a caffeine problem or anything.

Spread Halloween cheer.

The best way to spread Halloween cheer, is screaming loud for all to hear.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
