Halloween

I just have to blog about Halloween! It is Sunday, you know. Actually, I am not very fond of Halloween. I had a couple of bad experiences as a child and I have been damaged for life. I don't even remember my costumes. Well, once I was a hobo (I know that from pictures). Do you like Halloween? In a comment to my blog tell me if you like Halloween and your favorite costume that you wore.

Now, I am all for Halloween parties. They can be fun and in today's society, very safe. I do remember my first boy/girl party in the sixth grade - it was a Halloween party. Yup, it took me that long to go to a mixed party where there weren't any adults just hanging around. We bobbed for apples and had a race to see who could eat a donut hanging from a string the fastest (you were laying on your back on the ground with the donut swinging above you). As I remember, I was pretty good at both games. I was a master at bobbing for apples - dive in fast pushing the apple to the bottom and taking a big bite! Now I wouldn't want to get my hair wet :-)

In your blog today, you also need to talk about Halloween. I am hoping you all think you are too old to go trick or treating...because you are! What plans do you have for Sunday? A party or two? Do you have a favorite memory from Halloween? What is the best candy to get in your Halloween bag? Is it chocolate? It always was for me, because no one gave chocolate because it was more expensive. I use to hide my candy because my brother would eat it. Then I would forget about it and have to throw it away. Such a waste! I use to get a popcorn ball from a neighbor friend. No way can you get anything these days that isn't wrapped when you buy it. Did you hear about the time someone put razor blades in caramel apples? We don't get those in Halloween bags anymore either.

Sure hope you have a great weekend, whatever you have planned. Mine will be quiet as I turn off the lights and hide upstairs while the kiddies run by my house trick or treating. I am a true Halloween Scrooge!!
