Day 16, Only found in the most sincere pumpkin patch



Halloween isn’t just about the dead and horror, it’s about tricks or treats. It’s about getting together with your friends in the neighborhood and going door to door in costumes asking for candy. Unless you’re a visionary dreamer named Linus, then Halloween is about proving your sincerity to the Great Pumpkin. No mater how many times your sister Lucy calls you a blockhead.

Since it was first aired in 1966 there has not been a year when this was not shown on television. It is as much a part of a modern Halloween celebration as candy corn, jack o lanterns, or sacks over flowing with candy. Is the Great Pumpkin anymore real then Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny? Does it matter to you? I suppose it would only matter if you got a rock.
