Halloweens of the Past

Tweet

I was brought up at my grandparent's place. We never bought our costumes. All the neighbor kids just wore what they had around the house. It wasn't until I had my daughter that I ever bought a costume. I usually went as a gypsy due to my mom having so much jewelry and all my dress up clothes and such. Usually I went with my cousins who lived about a mile away. I was always supposed to be in my dark so being out after was rather grown up and a little creepy. My grandmother always decorated the place up great for Halloween. One year I remember she kept the front porch dark, covered all the furniture with white sheets and dressed as a witch. She would use the flashlight to show her face with someone came to the door. It was so scary for little kids.
