Happy Halloween everyone!  It is finally here, the terrifyingly fun evening when anythings is possible.  Zombies, Ghosts, Witches, Children.  They’re all out tonight.  Tonight, let loose.  Let yourself have more fun than you were expecting.  It only comes once a year, you know.  Enjoy this Halloween.

Squidoo has SO MANY great Halloween lenses, today was a hard pick.  So we’ll just take a sampling:

An appropriate holiday for the day before Halloween, today is National Candy Corn Day.

(I celebrating by taking out the candles I dipped to look like candy corn on my last trip to the Yankee candle factory…..and by eating a handful of candy corn.)

Throw your diet out this window for a moment with this yellow, white, and orange favorite:

Stop. Take a deep breath. And think about your lungs. You probably don’t do that very often, but there are many great men and women who think about them every day. We are in the middle of Respiratory Care Week:

The first game in the 2009 MLB World Series is tonight.   It’s the New York Yankees vs. Philadelphia Phillies.

So as not to ruffle any feathers, I’ll feature a lens from each side:

Today is Navy Day…we’ll maybe it is…at least it used to be.  It’s a long story.  Basically Navy Day was October 27th until they discovered that the Navy’s birthday is actually is October 13th.  So they changed it, but October 27th had already stuck.

Anyway….since we missed October 13th (because this blog hadn’t been born yet), we’ll celebrate today as Navy Day with this lens from clouda9:

Today we celebrate Double Ninth Festival, also known as the Double Yang Festival.

Learn why the Chinese celebrate this day by wearing a spray of Dogwood, drinking Chrysanthemum Wine, and climbing hills:

Today is World Pasta Day! So, that should answer the “What’s for dinner?” question.

To celebrate World Pasta lets take a look at three lenses:

There is something fun and interesting happening every day… somewhere. This is the place to celebrate! This site will serve as your jam packed calendar of holidays, events, and anniversaries of important dates, as displayed in squidoo lenses.

Each day I’ll be posting another squidoo lens or three about events of interest on that date.
