Do you have any special "traditions?"
I used to make white chili and bread every year when my children were still going trick or treating. We had tons of children!
Now DH and I work at a "Trunk or Treat." He won't dress up, but he has fun decorating our car. I do dress up and act the part! Nothing too scary of course- we've always done "cute Halloween."
I still make my chili, but for the first time someone is making it for all of us! Yay! One thing I don't have to worry about!
After everything is over, we watch Young Frankenstein," which will be bittersweet this year with Teri Garr's passing. But she will still make us laugh!
Later on, when I'm alone I will watch The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan. They were showing it around midnight the night before DD was born. I was on the couch. DD was due December 8. I went into labor in October and lost her twin. I was in the hospital, then they let me come home on bed rest. I asked my doctor if I could lie on the couch Halloween night, because my friends were dressing their children, mostly homemade costumes, and I wanted to see them. He said he didn't want me "walking" downstairs. But he didn't say anything about DH half-carrying me!
So I lay on the couch and they came in to see me. Later I was not tired, and I told DH to go to bed. I watched the movie. The next morning I was at the hospital. DD was here. She was a preemie, who didn't hit the charts until she was a year. And she had to wear a brace for a year. But looking at her now you wouldn't know there was ever anything wrong! And what a blessing she is!
However you spend October 31, enjoy!
