Happy Halloween! To me Halloween was never filled with memories of dressing up, trick-or-treating, or anything related to being scary. It just wasn't my thing, still isn't my thing. So, every year I would head over to my Grandma's house and help her hand out candy. After the last trick-or-treater came, or we ran out of candy, we would turn off all the inside lights and sit around with a flash light reading ghost stories to one another. Please keep in mind that these stories weren't scary and we read the same stories year after year. I still know some of them by heart.It was a tradition. I miss that tradition, now that I don't live at home anymore I don't get to be the one that helps my Grandma.
I would like you to picture this next part...I was a scaredy-cat, a huge chicken, when it came to costumes; my grandma would have to pass out candy to the kids that were dressed up with blood, gore, or masks. I always avoided anything remotely scary.
This weekend will be no exception to my avoidance of all things scary. I will pass on all of the haunted houses, scary moves, and Halloween parties. Instead I will be attending an Apple Butter Festival with the boy.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoy your own tradition.
It's like the tradition of reading "The Night Before Christmas" and making cookies on Christmas Eve...everyone has there own versions. It took me a long time to enjoy haunted houses. I still don't enjoy scary movies even though I keep telling myself they are fake. You'd think I'd know that by now with all the creepy things my husband keep around the house.
