Most of the time it's a quarterback that wins the MVP but I feel like this year there are so many good running backs that one of them should win the MVP, like Jonathan Taylo

Dressing up and going from door to door throughout the night is less talked about and more frowned upon as we lose years from our life spans. However if we embraced the origins that their beloved holiday bloomed from, it would be flourishing and embraced among older generations. Most people have no idea the witch craft and rituals that inspired today's traditions and ma
