Halloween

I have been decorating for Halloween the past couple of days. Nothing extravagant, just some sparkly fall leaves, a fall harvest wreath, some old torn gauzy fabric, and a few paper bats. My mom will probably flip when she reads this, because she doesn't like Halloween. I think we only went trick or treating three times my entire life. We always had harvest parties instead, which was a great alternative. For some reason I have always been interested in Halloween. I think the part that I liked best was that you could dress up like anything you wanted, and walk around in public without getting strange looks. The candy was fun too. : ) Olan likes Halloween, so I'm sure we will be going trick or treating every year. As bad as Halloween began, it has become something fun for kids and families to do together. I think it gives us the opportunity to get to know your neighbors better too. I still remember having good memories at the harvest parties, though, so maybe we will switch off every other year. Or we might just start our own tradition! Who knows!
