As a kid, I always liked Halloween. I liked
dressing up in a costume
that I
pick out at the store or, more often,
we
made out of odds and ends at
home. The
best part was going trick-or-
treating.
Some years, I went with my brothers and
sisters.
When I got a little older, I went with my
friends. We
would go to the houses in our neighborhood
and
knock or ring the doorbell. When
the
door opened, we would yell, "Trick or
treat!‚"
We never played tricks and
always
got treats. The neighbor would put some
candy
and chocolate bars in our bags. We would go
home
at the end of the night and eat them to
our
hearts' content.
To get
ready for Halloween, my parents would buy
pumpkins from the market or from
the
make-shift pumpkin patches on the
side
of the road so that we could make jack-
o-
lanterns. We took each pumpkin and cut
off
the top, scooped out the seeds from
the
inside, and carved faces on the front.
At
night, we would put candles inside the jack-o-
lanterns and put them on our
doorstep.
Sometimes we carved scary faces and
sometimes
they were funny ones.
I
remember
that one year, we had a Halloween party. Our
friends came over dressed up as witches,
ghosts, superheros, cartoon characters,
and
anything else you can think of. We would play
party
games like bobbing for apples, and
we
even created a haunted
house
in our backyard. It was a blast!
Halloween is truly a holiday for kids.
