Halloween

I have such wonderful memories of Halloween.  Although I was raised in a very strict religious home, the gloves came off for Halloween.  All the rules changed.  Mom worried about evil all year long, but on Halloween, she just wanted to have fun.  It was so nice to have the pressure off and just be able to be a normal kid.

We would all dress up, put on scary music, and cook good things to eat.  She had a sign that had a witch on it that she would put on the door, the sign said, "Welcome kiddies, put all your goodies in the box below.  Go quietly and no one will get hurt."

I am so pleased as an adult, that our family has enjoyed this holiday together.  My children always had such fun roaming the neighborhood.  I have always enjoyed taking out the Hershey bars from their loot after they went to bed. Scott is in Denver, but the girls are coming over on Wednesday night and it will be a happy time.  I hope yours is as well.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
