• A Lori Mitchell Halloween figure for ESC & Company

On the enchanting night of Halloween, as the moon cast its bewitching glow upon the world, a peculiar sight unfolded. Moonlight Magic, a mischievous little witch, found herself perched upon a golden crescent moon, watching with a mixture of delight and longing as other trick-or-treaters frolicked below.

With her treat basket in hand, Lori Mitchell's Moonlight Magic had set out on this fateful night with dreams of collecting a bountiful stash of candies. But fate had a different plan in store for her. Instead of joining the merry throng of trick-or-treaters, she found herself suspended in the night sky, her perch on the crescent moon granting her a unique vantage point.

As she sat there, her black witch hat adorned with a silver buckle, Moonlight Magic couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. From her elevated position, she witnessed the joy and excitement radiating from the children as they went from house to house, their laughter and mirth filling the air.

Although she couldn't partake in the traditional Halloween festivities, Moonlight Magic discovered a different kind of magic. From her lofty position, she could see the true essence of Halloween—the joy of community, the bonds of friendship, and the enchantment that permeated the night.

While others collected treats, Moonlight Magic collected memories. She observed the wonder in the eyes of children as they marveled at spooky decorations, the warm glow of jack-o'-lanterns lighting up front porches, and the sense of camaraderie that Halloween brings.

Although Moonlight Magic couldn't physically join in the trick-or-treating fun, she became a symbol of the magic that filled the night. With her presence, she added height and wonder to the Halloween collection, reminding everyone that there is more to this spooky season than just candy.

And as the moon continued to shine down upon the world, Moonlight Magic embraced her unique perch, knowing that even from above, she could still share in the enchantment of Halloween.
