 When I was just a little girl we loved Halloween We'd dress up in our costumes the cutest you'd ever seen Goblins and witches, devils and Angels sometimes a cute little clown If around you would look, you might even see a Charlie Brown We would go to all the houses in the neighborhood Oh, the nice treats they would prepare for us were so very good Candy apples, popcorn balls, candy all different kinds of good treats Our Mothers would check our bags but only to limit our sweets We all had lots of innocent fun to be afraid of our treats, not ever That was a while back, I'm talking about then some bad folks tried to be clever Now, even if the kids get to go trick or treat in this sad day Their parents have to check the treats some even with an x-ray You see, the cruel bad folks who thought they were so clever Into the treats put razor blades pills or no telling whatever When this happens I just want to cry for it is so very, very sad That even trick or treat on Halloween turned out sometimes to be bad The bad is still outweighed by the good so let kiddies trick or treat on their day Halloween can be a good fun time when all the young like to dress up and play When trick or treaters come to your door if little witches, devils or angels you see Look real close at all the ghosts because the Casper one might be me  Happy Halloween, Everyone!!

"Candy apples, popcorn balls, candy all different kinds of good treats Our Mothers would check our bags but only to limit our sweets" When I was a kid, Halloween was my favorite holiday. And like you, sometimes I think that kids now will never really experience what we did. Shame for them, it was always a blast!  |

Hello Ethel I really liked reading about Halloween, especially because we didn't celebrate it when I was young and it is only in recent years that kids go trick or treating here in Australia. But we still don't celebrate it in the way you do, I'm not sure why? Take care......Sue I am in motion |

hehehe....this is the cutest thing. I just loved this. Brought back lots of fun times, and what always turned out to be the starting of the cold in our area. No more extreme heat.  Happy Halloween to you, too!  Love, Terri~  [This message has been edited by SharaRose (10-27-2003 11:39 PM).] |

Oh I loved Halloween and still do, our tradition is watching "The Great pumpkin Charlie Brown"..."The Legend Of Sleepy Hallow"..."Halloween is Grinch Night"...we would go and get candy for hours.. no school the next day..(trees were chopped down and blocked the roads),coming home tired and filling the candy drawer up..the candy would last till Christmas..then we would restock of course with candy from stockings...LOL! My favorite was the homemade carmel covered apples,Homemade cupcakes, and the wilton melted chocolate suckers(the kind you melt and paint)...mmmmmm...but these days kids have to be safe... Thanks for the trip down memory lane! ~ARH HAPPY HALLOWEEN!   |
