It's that time of year again. The time for matchy-matchy family Halloween theme costumes.
My personal opinion? Not for me. Like matching Christmas sweaters or matching silk bowling jackets, I reserve theme family Halloween costumes for the not-touching-me-in-this-lifetime category.

I bring baggage to the table. Full disclosure: As a child I did in fact wear matching dresses with my sister on more than one occasion, and I spent three days a week in high school in a cheerleading uniform matching my fellow crowd wranglers down to our little white socks. Then I went to college and joined a sorority and went through the experience that is sorority rush, and boy, with all the matching of the t-shirts and the perfectly unraveled cut-offs and Birkenstocks, I think I have experienced enough matchy-matchy for several decades to follow. Maybe, just maybe, I'm tired of matching PERIOD.
What do you think? Do you wear a Halloween costume? Do you match your costume to your spouse/partner/friends/kids?
