HALLOWEEN HAS CHANGED OR HAS IT?

Instead of the typical ghosts and goblins, trick or treaters wear transformer, elaborate disney princess, movie characters, bumble bee, lady bug costumes to name a few. Some lawns have amazing Halloween displays instead of a simple pumpkin craved with a candle inside on a front porch. Some historians say the tradition started in pagan times or roman times or somebody's time, but the fun of the day is the next most favourite time for children- Christmas does come first still. Adults get into the mix by wearing something fun to work if allowed! There are more parties and events but the main fun is still going door to door getting the treats. I am the "pop lady". Giving cans of pop along with some Halloween candies, makes my house popular! Makes up for the simple pumpkin on the front porch! At a family get together on Saturday, my little grandchildren dressed in costume to have a group picture with some of their second cousins on my side of the family. Even had a Nana photo with them! So enjoy the day and the night! To the young and young at heart- Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeen!
