Who as a kid or an adult doesn’t or didn’t love the season
of fall, because that meant the start of all the fall harvest festivals,
culminating in Trick or Treating! Prior to the big event you experienced
haunted houses or hayrides, watched scary movies, told ghost stories, and of
course visited the local pumpkin patch. I loved it when I was young and really
loved it even more when I had smaller kids. The delight and joy of these family
moments are what life’s sweet memories are compiled of, that and countless
sleepless nights, but I digress. We did enjoy the close feeling of the
neighborhood and our was really into Holidays, which made it great for the
kids. Our schools, Churches, malls, even our grocery stores had events for the
kids, it was a magical time, the cooler weather really helped set the mood. The
tradition of craving the pumpkin, and setting them out for display on the front
porch was always a highlight. Of course we had the neighbor who did everything
bigger, his carved pumpkins were of the highest level of expertise, his Halloween
display complete with animation, sound effects, smoke machines, you would think
he worked for Disney, but it did enhance everyone’s experience, and
memories. I hope my kids make the fall season
from Halloween, to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and into New Years Eve a time filled
with making their family memories; I know they are some of my favorites
too.
