Every year, like many towns around New England, our town holds actual trick or treatin' during a different day than Halloween night... So it's tonight, but I rarely know these things until the first group I see is walking around the neighborhood.

I had to run out to get bags of candy (we can't keep candy around the house -- too tempting!). Now they come to the door every 5 minutes or so for the next 2 hours, some groups of really cool and interesting costumes, others of bored teenagers, almost nearly all very fun and "into" the holiday.

I love Halloween. It reminds me of my own childhood.
