I had an absolutely LOVELY Halloween - at the mall!
I just found myself getting more and more depressed every year at Halloween when fewer and fewer trick or treaters would show up. This was always one of my most favorite holidays and I missed seeing the children in their costumes so much!
Now my commute from work is so long that I knew I wouldn't be able to get home in time for the early (and youngest) children assuming any were going to show up anyway. So, instead I went directly to the big shopping mall where they had their annual Halloween party for all the children. It looked like THOUSANDS of princesses, spider men, fairies, witches, firemen, cowboys, Belles (Beauty and the Beast), fat little pumpkins in strollers with a baby's head and little feet sticking out, and more and more. All ages - from a few months to pre-teens. It was fantastic! You could just park yourself on a sofa or bench and watch the wonderful parade go by.
I now have a new Halloween tradition!
