Halloween

Its almost that time of the year, with children dressing up and old party favorites such as bobbing for apples becomes a common household scene. When I was a child Halloween was special to me, but as an adult it has lost a lot of its lustre. Instead I almost dread the teenagers who wear a scream mask and demand that you give them a treat or they will egg your house, not even original threats anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I love to see little children get dressed up and I love giving them sweets, it just the few that always ruin it for the many! Just like at Christmas when they come round to sing carols and sing 7 words and expect 50p in their hands, I don't thinks so! Though little kids who stutter it are cute!

Wishing all a Happy and Safe Halloween

I remember dressing as a Witch at my nans and bobbing for apple with the fake nails on. I remember that one year my dad made me a lantern out of coat hangers and papier mache and made it look like Dracula. I also remember the year that my dad cracked his head and spending most of Halloween in A&E and seeing real life scares in the form of blood! and afterwards walking through the town and seeing the costumes that people were wearing.

I can definitely see that Halloween is getting bigger in this country. even since I was a child, there is a lot more items being sold, more people doing party's and more children going trick or treating than ever before. I can easily see that in another 10-15 years it will almost be as big as in Amer

I had a deprived childhood as I was never allowed to go trick or treating, but there was always a party to go to, sometimes at my nans or sometimes a friends, and on a few occasions in school.

Still as the nights get darker and the air gets colder, Halloween is a welcomed sign of winter and the festivities that start the run up to Christmas. Bonfire night next, then lights, excitement and wrapping that is Christmas.
