Halloween
has always been a fun time at my house, as far back as I can remember.
Even
before it became trendy with the public at large… I was wearing costumes and
decorating with orange lights, pumpkins, ghosts, goblins, black cats and
skeletons… inside and out. Back then, I was the only one that did, on our
street… and the children and adults loved it.
Nowadays, it seems like everybody is all in.
Halloween is a Tour de Force. Sadly, this
year though… as with most other things, the holiday has been all but canceled.
That is too bad. Costume parties were always part of the tradition. With kids bobbing for apples and eating goodies in the shape of their favorite monsters… their parents sipped exotic drinks… and scary music played. While, dry ice created a
spooky atmosphere for the festivities.
These things will be sorely missed. Trick
or treating is a rite of passage. You go from begging for candy to handing it
out when you reach a certain age. Social distancing kind of puts a damper on
all that, doesn’t it? No doorbells to
ring, only drive-by candy giveaways this year.
Though just in case,
i have a
stash of candy ready to go…
if i don't eat it first.
LOL
And because it is Halloween,
I’m
still wearing a costume of sorts.
It’s all about the mask, isn’t it?
To all my family, blog buddies
and friends...
ENJOY!
