Halloween always delights
me. For years I’ve been dressing up and decorating to let the spirits roam
around my haunted house here on the Boulevard. We used to have
quite alot of Trick or Treaters, throughout the years. But nowadays… there are few if any. Still I'm not discouraged. I rustle through my closet and create a costume and go outside under the light of the moon… to entice
those little ghosts and goblins, to make a detour from the main road… to my side
street and STOP for some delicious chocolate treats.
Usually... the parents accompany the little tykes. And the kids get all excited to
enter the 'dark' realm of Halloween here.
I’m the only one with spotlights blazing. So... it’s a little SPOOKY. All my
neighbors keep their lights off and doors tightly closed. They won’t spring for
a bag of candy to hand out to the youngsters. And don’t want the brats coming on their
property. Makes me sad they are such scrooges. But Que Sera Sera. The little
one’s enthusiasm is contagious and I enjoy playing along with them, while they
try to stay in character. Brings a smile... and great joy, into my otherwise mundane
life. So, the decorations are hung. The candy is bought... now I must decide what mask to wear. Because these days it’s all about the
mask, isn’t it???
Do you hand out candy on Halloween??? What’s your favorite
kind? Do you buy a bag for yourself? Or
doesn’t anybody show up? What kind of costumes do they wear if they do???
Are they store bought or homemade?
Inquiring minds
want to know.
Indulge me, please.
What do you think?
Vintage pumpkin or cat???
Let the witching hours begin...
