I've never been very fond of Halloween. I'm not particularly impressed with dressing up in a costume and parading around for everyone to see me. I would rather be in the background of the Halloween party.
And the Trick or Treating--not fun for me for these two reasons
👻I don't like candy. Weird, I know. But for me it was a useless activity to ask people for candy I wasn't even going to eat.
👻I grew up on the high windy plateaus of south-central Wyoming. By the 31st of October there was probably snow on the ground most years--and it was COLD. Brrrr! So, the costume was covered up by a winter coat. Who got to see that when we rang the doorbells? No one....
I do remember one house that used to serve hot cider and doughnuts. Now THAT was MY kind of treat. Of course, this was in the 50's before all the scare of razors and drugs and whatever in the treats that weren't already prepackaged before they were purchased at the store.
Anyway, I did make a big deal about Halloween for my kids. I usually sewed their costumes, and we went all out on a family Spook Dinner which we all loved. Then Dad would take them Trick or Treating. He had as much fun as they did, and they all loved to check out their candy loot when they got home, trading with each other the likes and dislikes of their haul.
But this year, I saw this cute Trick or Treat wish online. I can "do" this one.
Happy Halloween!
This October,
may your treats be many and your tricks be few.
Hope you have a sweet Halloween.
