Xenodochium
Today is the last day of "31 Days of Life". I'm kind of glad. It's been hard to come up with something to blog about every day. (If I do it next year, I'll try to be prepared going in to it!) It's also Thursday, which means, Alphabe-Thursday. Today's letter is "X". It's also Halloween. I thought I'd combine the three and I found this great "X" word online.
TheFreeDictionary.com gives this definition:
Xen`o`do`chi´um
| n. | 1. | (Class. Antiq.) A house for the reception of strangers. |
This may be a stretch, but I think it is a perfect word for Halloween. Tonight my husband, our kids and I will invite complete strangers on to our front porch to receive candy. Tonight, I'll call our house a (or an?) xenodochium. Works for me. What do you think??
And just for fun, here's a picture of Cookie in her costume. She HATED it.
