When I was a little girl, a verrrrrrrrry long time ago, I loved Halloween. I was noticing at a store yesterday all of the people shopping for costumes and all the little kids excited about what they were going to be. We did not have full costumes to choose from but got a mask every year, a plastic thing with a rubber band in the back so it would cover your face. My mom usually made us a costume to go with the mask. Nothing fancy or expensive but made certainly with a ton of love. We took our grocery store sacks and went to every house in our little town. We'd normally get about 2 sacks full and have candy til Valentines Day. That was our advantage...not as much in the costume department but we didn't have to worry about what what were given. We had a carnival at school, a Halloween carnival with all kinds of fun games and the coolest thing, the opportunity to pay money and have your teacher put in the jail. They had to find someone to bail them out. It was way cool. Now they have 'Fall Fesivals' because 'Halloween Carnivals' are way un-PC. I guess it's kinda the same. Anyway, Happy Halloween to anyone who's reading this and I hope you get a great sugar rush!!
