Halloween in the late 70′s with our homemade costumes

Do you have a favorite Halloween? I don’t I have many. My favorite Halloween were those of my childhood. I loved Halloween as a kid. Every year we had to get creative to make costumes. There was no such thing as buying a costume. Nope they had to come out of what was in the house. I remember well my grade 2 costume. I was a robot. We created it out of cardboard boxes. i was often a ghost (my mom’s poor sheets) or whatever i could think of that year. As you can see as a kid I always trick or treated with my sister. I loved this costume of hers. Tinsel and sheets, and a hanger..yes we had it all in the house!

We love Halloween and yes being a Muslim most don’t celebrate this holiday but in my house my daughter is not Muslim and we do. We love decorating the house. Shopping for candy, and who doesn’t give out chocolate bars? We love the whole month of October as it is the lead up to a night of fun. We love Halloween. Could you imagine my neighborhood if I had $2,000 of Nestle Candy to give away. I think I would be the neighbor the kids love!
