Do you love to curl up on the couch and watch scary movies? While some of the classic horror flicks might be a little TOO scary for little ones, there are plenty of fun and frightful films that won't leave you with nightmares!
Here are some of our favorite Halloween movies that are just spooky enough for a family movie night:
Rosh Hashanah - the celebration of the Jewish New Year - started at sundown last night.
The holiday is the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve and also marks the proclamation of God as the King of the Universe.

Did you know that September 12th is National Chocolate Milkshake Day?
It's true -it's the day of the year officially dedicated to indulging your sweet tooth.
Although the concept of milkshakes have been around since 1885 (back then, the recipe called for a shot of whiskey!), the modern incarnation was invented by a Walgreen's employee in Chicago in 1922.
According to CNN, this brilliant inventor "added two scoops of ice cream to a drink called a malted milk."
Labor Day is one of those holidays that makes it hard to throw a themed party. There’s no specific color scheme, like Valentine’s Day, or set theme, like Halloween, to help you plan the celebration.

Labor Day is the unofficial end of the summer. It's the last, long weekend that gives everyone an opportunity to bid adieu to a summer of memories and sun and get ready for a fall of cooler weather.
Have friends and family over for a final big meal of the warm months and to prepare for the months to come. Whether you are out at a lake, down on the beach, or in your backyard, simple and portable meals make it easy for everyone to party and eat well.
