All Hallow's Eve

When I was young there was 3 times of the year I looked forward to. Christmas, Easter and Halloween.
Christmas, was a magical time of warmth and presents. Easter was a time of fun finding candy eggs and chocolate bunnies. and Then there was Halloween. Having children commands you to celebrate all three of these holidays but I find that Halloween is the best. I like it because I can dress the house and act like a child myself. For most of the 3 holidays its all work for a parent. The costs in time and money for all three can get out of hand fast. But Halloween is a bit different. Dressing up in an outfit and taking my children out into the night to Trick-or-Treat is like taking me back to a time when I was a child. Even staying at home dressed up in an outfit delivering treats to the kids coming to the door is also fun. Your alone while you partner takes the kids out. It's fun to see all the costumes and meet the people going door to door.
There are those that do not celebrate Halloween because they see it as a celebration of a Pagan ritual, and if you want to cut it out of your children's life then fine.  There will be a time though, when they look out of the window with wonder and regret, no matter what explanation you give them. Halloween is not like Christmas or Easter. Halloween will only occupy a very part of your child's youth. as soon as a child becomes a teenager they become less likely to enjoy trick or treating. I would recommend that every child experience Halloween at least once in their life. Anything is life can be represented in bad way and just because some choose to celebrate witchcraft doesn't mean that Everyone has to. It can be a night to celebrate the fight against evil by dawning angel outfits and walking door to door collecting candy for a good cause .. You!
