The Little Girl Who Loved Halloween: Must Be the Season of the Witch
Happy Hallows' Eve
There was once a little girl named Nadja born near Halloween. Her birthday was so close; she arrived home from the hospital on that holiday.
Must’ve been a day like no other for her mom. Newborn baby, candy, trick-or-treaters, and horror movies.
As Nadja grew, she had birthday parties full of all things fun and spooky. Kids in costumes, a scary good cake, with pumpkin displays.
Halloween birthdays are magical events. A day when all can be anyone they wish! Proudly show to the world for a glimpse. The world feels like a play.
While many little girls wanted to be a princess, Nadja didn’t think of such things. Nope, she wanted to be a witch!
Every year when her mother asked what she wanted to be for Halloween. Nadja said with pride, “WITCH!”
So, a witch she was year after year.
Trick or treating with identical twin cousins Shannon and Michelle. Twas a magical moment for this sweetie. Loving nostalgia from the early 80s.
The time came for Nadja to try other costumes. She retired the witchy stuff far into elementary years — through adulthood.
Then one day during her mid-30s. She fondly remembered little Nadja’s witchy ways.
A thought sparked … a knowing came over her.
As the gorgeous season of fall descends, when the leaves transform into striking reds, deep purples, and vibrant oranges. When the pumpkins sprout for harvest . She remembers that bewitching little girl.
That little witch she was so proud of.
What will she be this year? Where she belongs. A witch my pretties, she’s been one ever since.
“Must be the season of the witch.”
