The prompt for week 9 : Halloween
Have you ever participated in a Halloween event?
When was it?
Where was it?
What did you dress as?
Trick or treat?
When I was growing up Halloween was not the celebration it is now. There were carved pumpkins and trick or treating of course but not the kind of decorations in use today. I remember a cardboard skeleton hanging in the window. Someone was always moving his arms and legs.
Everyone went trick or treating and used flashlights to find their way in the dark. Costumes were homemade using our creativity. Scarecrows and bums were quick and easy to put together with things found around the house. We all wore masks to disguise ourselves. Think Lone Ranger mask.
Pillowcases were used to haul our loot. In those days, before there was the danger something harmful being in a treat, we got popcorn balls, caramel apples, cookies and other home baked goodies.
