October Holidays

"Three October holidays are about important personal relationships:"

  • with children, our most precious personal and national resource
  • with our mothers-in-law, with whom we sometimes have a love-hate relationship
  • and with our bosses, who cover the complete spectrum from wonderful mentors to oppressive task masters

In October we also celebrate the joy of giving and receiving sweet temptations on Sweetest Day.

And best of all, the meaning of October for most of us: the treats, tricks, and ghoulish good fun of Halloween.

Children, sweets, and Halloween ... a happy combination in October!
