How to have Halloween fun

Happy Halloween everyone!  Whether you’re planning on passing out candy or eating eat, here is how to have Halloween fun in 2022!

Halloween

Finally, October 31st!  Time for tricks or treats!  It’s the one holiday that kids of all ages love because of all the candy!  How fun is it to dress up in your favorite costume and easily get candy?  Here is how to have Halloween fun my way!

I must say that I was never that good at my costumes.  Growing up, we didn’t have a lot of money so our costumes were of the K-mart variety.  I recall a Casper the friendly ghost plastic face mask and plastic cover up.  Truly, I would have been better off with a sheet.  Surely, it would have been safer because I wouldn’t have gotten so hot in my mask and I wouldn’t have been breathing in chemicals.  (I’m sure those masks were full of toxins (and endocrine disruptors)!

The best costume I ever had was a witch.  I was so excited about it and most of it was homemade.  I had a long black dress and some striped stockings.  I did buy a witches’ hat along with some green face makeup, a long black wig and some tooth ‘black-out’ to make it look like I had missing teeth.  So, I really didn’t spend that much on it.   But, putting it all together, it looked great!  I was so excited because that Halloween, I was going to a Halloween party.

If anyone knows me, they know I’m the quiet type.  Parties aren’t necessarily my thing but I was so excited about my costume.  I got myself ready and went with a couple of my friends at the time.  We walked in and everyone recognized my friends but had no idea who I was.  So, I decided to make it fun – plus, like I said, I was the quiet type so not having to say anything was perfectly OK with me!

For a good hour, people were trying to figure out who I was.  I laughed quietly inside.  It wasn’t until I finally opened my mouth to say something that someone figured out who I was.  I mean, how great of a costume / make-up when no one can figure out who you are.  That’s how to have Halloween fun!
