Post-Halloween Depression

I wasn't sure if the kids would be really tired or really wound up the day after Halloween. Turns out it was a weird combination of both that lead to some pretty crazy emotions.

Kendal slumped in first thing in the morning and sadly mumbled, "I want it to be Halloween again. It was so fun." And then she looked like she was about to cry. I totally understand how she feels - I always go through post-_____ depression. Be it a concert, a holiday, a book, a trip - I hate when things end. But then I just need to find a new thing to look forward to. So I read them a book about Thanksgiving to fix the post-Halloween blues. I'm not sure if it helped - Thanksgiving is not nearly as fun as Halloween when you're six. Or when you're an adult.
