    What's Keeping You up at Night?

    Which film would you like to see on the spookiest （毛骨悚然的）day of the year?

    Well, it's that time of the year again; witches, ghosts, wizards and skeletons are supposed to come out in full force. Yes, Halloween （万圣节）--31st October, the spookiest day of the year is almost here.

    There are so many things we can do to enjoy this supernatural day―sweets, fancy dress and of course watching scary films.

    It's the perfect time for family and friends to watch horror films on the TV in the dark and maybe they are so frightened that they may try to find safety behind a sofa!

    There are thousands of such films to choose from that it's hard for us to make choices. One of the most famous is 1970's release （上映）Carrie which may meet your needs perfectly. It's a tale of a girl being bullied （欺辱）at school by young women who live to regret it.

    If you want to see films showing violence, blood and killing, then The Night of the Ling Dead and Evil Dead will provide more horrorable sights than one person can possibly manage.

    For Hitchcock fans out there, Halloween is the perfect time to watch two of his best-known movies from the 1960's, Psycho and The Birds. Both have aged unbelievably well and still can keep the viewers on the edge of their seats with their very frightening effects.

    However, not everyone wants to be frightened on Halloween night. Monsters Inc. is an animation film, set in a land where monsters exist and the strange characters are sure to bring a smile to the kids in the family.

    Meanwhile, if you want to stay up all night, film series such as The Saw, Nightmare on Elm Street and maybe Harry Potter are sure to keep you seated in the box for hours.

    So turn off the lights, sit back and enjoy the movies that you have chosen, whether it is unpleasant or spooky.

    But remember, don't have nightmares!

    　　It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us．My husband was the first to shift his consciousness．He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman．

    　　At first he stood alone, piling massive amounts of snow．Soon after a neighbor joined in my husband's quest to embrace the oortunity the winter presented．Maintaining less than desirable attitudes, we reluctantly put on out snow gear(用具)and headed outside．It wsan't long before we were smiling and enjoying the abundance of soow that Mother-Nature had rovided．Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman．

    　　In the end we all stood back and marveled at what we had created．He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families．There he stood, our glorious, gigantic(巨人般的)snowman．

    　　People drove by and smiled．Some even stopped to enjoy his existence．The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures allowed．

    　　With the passing of time, the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably．In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer somebody stopped by and changed the snowman's remains to look like a rabbit．

    　　As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to check my email before going to bed．I found a curious message that contained the subject line：enjoy the snowman．I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it．The words it contained melted my heart．

    　　The email said：…your neighbor looks on in disbelief! I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells, along with sights of spring．The energy displayed in Mr Snowman or Ms, is filled with vigor and joyous energy．You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now．Love sweet love．More power to you and your loved ones, kee sharing with the world around．

    　　Perhaps it was more than a snowman we built that day．I'd like to agree that it was．The message seems clear．Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them．The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours．
