I loved Halloween as a kid for several reasons. For one, it was the only time my parents let me eat candy. But I also loved the theatrical aspect of creating costumes and going trick-or-treating.
When I was young, there were a lot fewer options when it came to costumes and Halloween decorations. Now it is a big business, but back then we really had to use our imaginations to come up with scary and impressive costumes.
I wonder if kids today miss out on some of that creativity when they can go into any store or on-line and buy a ready-made costume of just about anything.

Happy Halloween!
