Halloween Crafts from the Past
Trick or Treat!
It was something of a block party that most families planned and looked forward to after the back-to-school drama was over.


The whole month of October would filled with orange and black construction paper, streamers, glitter and glue. We made Thanksgiving Turkeys from our hand prints, cut-out and glued-up some millions of jack-o-lanterns and black cats with arched backs. We had a little costume parade of students at school and our moms and grandmoms came to see us (most moms didn't work away from home when I was growing up). The PTA would have a bake sale with the sweetest fruit punch. We all had so much fun.
Halloween was certainly different before the techno-revolution. I think it was better, but that may be because old folks always think the past was better.
One thing for sure, I have enjoyed every single Halloween of my life so far and am looking forward to seeing the kids at my door tonight.
Happy Halloween!
