Happy Halloween!

When I was small it was a family tradition to watch the animated version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow each year on TV.  It seems like it was often on after we got home from Trick-or-Treating but I could be wrong.  Disney did it very well, and even after watching it annually I would jump when the headless horseman threw his head at poor Ichabod Crane.

This wonderful classic by Washington Irving is a quick and easy read.  For several years now I have made a point of reading it on Halloween night after the ghosts, pirates and princesses have all gone home to bed.  A warm cup of cider or tea, possibly an afghan or shawl and a good book, what better way to end a holiday?

It is not too late, a quick trip to your local library will probably find it still on the shelves.  If not it is a quick free download on the Kindle and possibly other e-readers as well. 

Treat yourself to a new tradition with an old story.  I will be reading it tonight, cozy and warm with something special to sip.  Feel free to join me.  Happy Halloween!
