I’m sure everyone has fond memories of Halloween, whether it’s getting the candy, or making your costumes in preparation of, or a Halloween party you attended that you really liked. What have you.
This is actually kind of difficult for me because, despite my love of Halloween, there aren’t a lot of big events that I’ve had in my life so far that have occurred on Halloween or revolved around Halloween.
So, grab yourself a drink and a snack, get ready for story time.
It was Halloween night, I was fifteen, and I was over at my friend Dee’s house because she was having a little Halloween get together. It was her, her boyfriend, and myself. Non of us had put a lot, if any, work into our costumes because, despite our love of Halloween, we were lazy. She lived on some property out in the country, so we were allowed to have a little bonfire.
So, we were just hanging out, eating candy, hanging around the fire. And then Dee’s dad comes out and we start talking with him, and he says how he always loves to drive around and look at the decorated houses. And, he went on to say that he had a friend in a neighboring town that always went above and beyond with his decorations. So, we all piled into a car and drove over there. We stopped on the way for Timmy’s(Tim Horton’s, it’s a really big coffee/doughnut chain here in Canada that serves a lot more than just coffee and doughnuts), and Dee’s dad bought us all a treat.
Then we went driving around this little residential area where kids were trick-or-treating, we got to see all the nicely decorated houses, talk about some of the things that they(Dee’s dad and his friend) would do as kids on Halloween(Scaring younger kids for their candy anyone?). We really didn’t do all that much, but it was just really nice and fun. And, it’s just something that I’ve kept with me and I really, really liked.
I’m 20 years old now, so that was about five years ago and it still stuck with me. So, in recent memory I think that’s my favourite Halloween memory. Sorry that wasn’t very detailed, but those are really the big parts of the night that stood out to me the most and I don’t want to bore everyone with details. What’s yours? Tell me in the comments.
Brief as it is, that’s all I have for you today. Thank you so much for joining me for day 17 of my October Blogging Challenge, which is where I post a fall or Halloween themed post everyday for the month of October. If you liked what you read, you can come back tomorrow and see what I have for you then. Or, if it’s after the 31st, then you have all the posts to go through if you want.
Thank you again, I hope you are having a great day/afternoon/evening/night, and I will see you next time.
