Halloween Fun

 
     
             
 
Why? Why? Why?

The reason to haunt is simple.. it's great fun.. it creates memories that will last a lifetime.. it celebrates childhood...  

No matter how old you become .. I bet you can remember that one house that always went the extra mile to show the children a good time..

Or maybe it was that one house where the grown ups dressed up when all others just handed out candy

Halloween.. the one day a year that you can be whatever you wish and as silly as you want!
 

What I saw on Halloween….


Ghosts, Goblins, Witches and the whole lot … I also saw cheerleaders and football players.. I saw cowboys and indians.. I saw a princess or maybe 2.. I saw fairies and angels and firefighters and doctors .. I saw monsters and goblins  and vampires too…

and then I looked past the costumes and wow did I see some really cool things..

I saw families together having fun, laughing and playing as the night grew dark….
I saw the love between mother/father and child… parents that made the night be about having fun and being a child… I saw costumes lovingly made .. I saw the patience and time it took for those costumes .. made or store bought … there were parents who made sure their child got to be who they wanted on this one day of the year …

Does it really matter in this day and time how this night originated and from which group of people or religion may have started any of it .. as it is .. it’s a collection … an infusion of many backgrounds, many religious beliefs as well as family traditions and lets not forget the media.. all these things have made it what it is today .. and now it is up to you .. each individual to make it what YOU want it to be..

For the most part I saw Halloween night being one of family love and harmony .. there was no fussing about what gifts to give or buy .. there was no bickering about whose house to go to for you go to them all.. there was no dollar amounts being brought up and it wasn’t even about who had the most expensive costume..  because at this time of year .. better doesn’t always mean more expensive! 

To me as a child Halloween was far better than Christmas… there was nothing I had to worry about except how I dressed.. and I could be anything in the world I wanted to be this night and no one would say how ridiculous … because the more ridiculous the better it seemed to be

Halloween to me is the true meaning of being a kid.. allowing your imagination take over and then there’s the CANDY!!!! It can’t get any better than that!

Anyway… that’s just a bit about what I saw Halloween night!

Until next year …
