Let us count the ways….
Seriously: I get SUCH a kick out of the annual Hallowe’en shindig! And I believe most of the neighbors do, too.
The WonderAccountants and I have made an Annual Custom of sitting out on their driveway and handing out candy. It is SUCH a hoot! The kiddies are as cute as can be, and the teenagers are as goofy as they can be.
😀
We have a low-income neighborhood to the north of us. The kiddies in those parts know that Riches are to be had in our parts. So they descend upon us in all their adorable masses.
Most of them are dressed up in goofy costumes, which are more fun than life to see. But even those who don’t gussy themselves up are having a great time, and THEIR fun is contagious to us driveway-sitters.
Meanwhile, the locals buy or make elaborate outfits for their kids, and those are a great deal of fun to eyeball, too.
In short, it’s our chance to enjoy the kids, which we all do with great delight.
Happy Hallowe’en!!!
NOW AND EVERMORE
I’m glad you still enjoy Halloween. I don’t get to hand out candy anymore, so I just don’t look forward to it these days.
We don’t dress up at my current job or do anything to celebrate the holiday. I usually work on Halloween, so maybe that’s the reason I don’t care for it anymore? Ah, well…
That’s too bad. Whast prevents you from handing out candy?
