Letter to the Great Pumpkin

Have you written your letter to the Great Pumpkin this year? He only visits one sincere pumpkin patch each Halloween, so you better put your pen to paper soon, if you haven’t already.

Here’s mine.


The letter reads:

Dear Great Pumpkin,

I want to tell you about my friends Charlie and Linus. Not that Charlie and Linus. Mine are cats, and they do not hang out in pumpkin patches. They probably don’t even like pumpkins. So, I’m asking that you do not visit them on Halloween. You should visit the other Charlie and Linus. They would appreciate seeing you—at least Linus would, but probably Charlie too. I know aloof cats can be irresistible, but they won’t care if you stop by—unless you bring food.

Happy Halloween!

Matt

P.S. The aloof cats.

A chonky tabby cat, Linus, with a pink nose lays on his side with his bag leg stretched over a black cat, Charlie, sleeping on his side. Linus looks like he’s riding Charlie backwards.
