Happy Halloween friends! I'm wondering, was Halloween was big deal when you were a kid?
It was a huge holiday for my siblings and I (but not my parents) and my oldest sister Linda always helped us come up with costumes. I was 7 when she left for college and was on my own after that. One year I found a woman's old dress that was black with orange flowers. I made a wig with long braids out of an old white sheet and that was my costume that year.
My parents didn't want to be bothered and never decorated or anything, and my mother refused to hand out candy to trick or treaters... I always felt bad about that except when someone gave me pecans instead of candy (we had 9 pecan trees in our back yard, lol).
