Jan 21
Three monumental occasions fall on January 21st, 2013;
1) Martin Luther King Day
2) The Presidential Inaguration
3) The fifth birthday of my little girl Ringlett
All have profound meaning and worthy of celebration, but excuse me if I’m slightly partial to one in particular.
Happy Birthday Ringlett…and many many more!

This Halloween will not be your typical Halloween in New York City. The 39th Annual Halloween Parade that stretches more than a mile in length along New York City’s Sixth Avenue has been cancelled for the first time in its history. While this announcement leaves its 50,000 costumed participants, and 2 million spectators highly disappointed, it seems insignificant in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
SerafinoSays had decided to forgo our mascots annual costume contest. We thought it may be insensitive and superficial to be dressing up our dog #Ringlett in her Halloween costume when millions of our fellow residents of New York & New Jersey are without power, or even worse, returning to their home only to find it has been destroyed.
Then we saw something to change our mind. My sweetheart and I were walking around our neighborhood earlier today we saw kids fully dressed up for Halloween, complete with huge smiles (except for a couple zombies that were very scary) hoping to score a bag full of candy. It was at that moment we realized the resilience of our City. We have many, many family & friends without electric, but for a few short hours their full attention will shift to their children’s dreams and expectations of a fulfilling Halloween Holiday complete with trick or treating.
With that good spirit fresh on our mind, we rushed home to put on Ringlett’s Halloween costume with the hope of recreating a few of those smiles so freely shown by those kids walking down the street. For those that are dealing with the tragedy of Hurricane Sandy, our hearts and prayers go out to you. For those that are fortunate enough to enjoy the norm of Halloween, please be safe and eat lots of candy for all of us!
Happy Halloween!

The purpose is so every SerafinoSays reader can vote (click on “Comment” located under the date “Oct 26″) on what costume Ringlett will wear in the New York City Halloween Parade.
