Halloween?!?!

I’ve never been a fan of Halloween.

There’s always been an unhappy stigma attached to this day. Over the years, we lost a few animals and I think a cat went missing somewhere in there too. We hated having to lock them up a few days before and on Halloween.

And to top it off, mom would show us a Christian video about what happens around Halloween. Even though it’s been at least 15 years, I can still see the blurry pictures and can hear the scary stories.

We never had trick or treaters… turns out, walking a mile down a dark and scary road for a candy bar just wasn’t worth it.

Mom and dad wouldn't let us trick or treat as kids because they didn't want to celebrate a bad holiday - and to be honest, I didn't feel I was missing much.

When Chris and I moved to our own apartment, we never had a trick or treater there either. We always had school on Halloween.

Halloween has always been just another day to me.



So.

Today is a big day.

Today is the first day in my whole life I will have trick or treaters coming to my door.



While I’m not excited about celebrating a day I don’t particularly like, I am excited about new experiences.


Have a safe Halloween!
