I love Halloween
I love Halloween – not because of the costumes or decorations….I do love those things, but I love Hallowe because I have good memories of Halloween as a child. My old neighbors are the reason I have such good memories of Halloween. None of them had any crazy decorations – just simple -pumpkins or paper decorations. But as a kid, you learn how much your community likes kids (or doesn’t like kids). My neighbors in Sunset Park loved Halloween – every house but two on the block had candy and some made extra treats, like candy apples and popcorn balls.
I feel like it’s our job to carry on the tradition so children today know we care as they candy-gather in the neighborhood. We deck out the entire house and buy good candy.
Hugs,
