Halloween Traditions

October 29, 2010 | by Natalie Caine | No Comments

Scarecrow_047.jpgDo empty nesters and baby boomers celebrate trick or treat?  A reporter asked me that one early morning and I said, “Whether our children are home or away, we have memories and the fun of who’s at the door tonight?”  We would love it if our children would email photos but they usually don’t.

Scary_079.jpgWhat do you do on Halloween?  We make cornbread with sundried tomatoes and a pot of chicken chili.  Sometimes I don’t recognize the new characters at the door but I always love hearing the voice of TRICK OR TREAT and lifting the pumpkin of candy towards their happy faces.

Tiny_Pumpkins_076.jpgHave a fun Halloween.  Share with us what costumes you wore and what your children loved to be on Halloween. 

 

PS  I am going to an elementary school Halloween Parade.
