Maybe that is why I enjoy Halloween. It also reminds me of my childhood.. Way back then, we did not have store bought costumes. We would get mother's and dad's old clothes and paint our faces with makeup. Since I was raised in the country in a tiny community, everyone knew everyone. So it was safe, even for me, to run about tossing corn at windows and soaping a few windows.. My sister and brothers were older and did not always like me hanging around them, esp when they would toilet paper neighbors trees, etc.. Oh yes, getting past the haunted barn was even a challenge for my older brother and sister to get past.. Man we would all runnnn sooooo fast. Scared to death, sometimes close to tears.,, we continued on... lol...... Candy everywhere.. We always had a great time on Halloween.
