Friends of mine made different suggestions and some of the ideas were quite humorous, others were downright “proposterous”, but none of them can or ever could replace good ole Halloween in my mind
I say we stick to the traditional Halloween, The one we’ve always known with all of its quirks, quarks, and traditions left just how they are.
In almost any autobiographical or biographical accounting of one’s life (anyone who grew up celebrating halloween) specifically in yheir younger years and growing up, there will more than likely be fond memories of Halloween antics mentioned at least once.
I have dozens of Halloween stories that my friends and I share often, from many’a hallows eve adventures, and 81.666% of those memories/stories are wholesome, innocent, and character building!
There’s certain things that have a special kind of excitment in our younger years; Christmas Eve/Morning is great and magical for most of us fortunate enough to grow up blessed. Thanksgiving and Birthdays are memorable, fun, and they do make one feel special, sure…
But, there’s just something special about Halloween… I don’t know if it’s because you’re often granted a special amount of freedom from your parents and family to go out and
Halloween night out trick-or-treating with your friends, is one of these things. being between the ages of 12-17 and getting caught up in the excitement surrounding and leading up to Halloween is contagious in the best way possible! The very atmosphere and spirit around
Having to defend your candy from being stolen by the older “kids”, eggings/being egged,
I know Halloween holds a very special and dear place in my heart and in the heart of many of my peer’s. It’s a long standing tradition and one that’s embedded deeply into our culture with tons of historical, factual, and mythical lore behind it.
It’s something I want my son, nieces, nephews, and all children in Canada to have the chance to experience. And they should have the freedom to experience how it’s meant to be!
Spooky, fun, alrighty dangerous, and full of great memories!
