I didn’t get to do much trick-or-treating as a kid. The few times that I did, I had to wait for my grandma to go through all the candy to inspect it. Love this contest! 🙂

My favorite memory is the year I dressed up as Pippi Longstocking. I’m a Native American with dark brown hair, it was so funny seeing people try to figure out who I was!

The pillowcase – no fancy store bought treat holder, just take the pillowcase out of the closet and you were good to go for the whole evening.

I remember starting trick or treating at dusk and not stopping until 10 or 11, I’d have bags and bags of candy, so much fun, nowadays kids are lucky if they get an hour and a half.

I remember going through a haunted maze when I was little and it was very scary.

In reply to Michelle Willms. The bartering with siblings was such fun- although I never thought to save candy to barter for chores, that's a great idea! :)

I enjoyed your post. I totally remember those days. I remember one year I created a glorious and completely appropriate witch costume for my sister out of my mom’s nightgowns. My mom is 5’10” and my sister and I are both pretty short, even in adulthood, so you can imagine how long her nightgown was on my sister as a child. We had great fun. We actually had one neighbor who gave out money (change) when she ran out of candy, so we tended to save her for last. I horded my candy because I knew my sister would gobble hers up. I was always more of a fruit eater than a candy eater, so this worked out perfectly. When she ran out of candy, we would barter: my candy in exchange for her doing my chores, or she’d purchase the candy outright, or we’d come up with some other complicated exchange formula only two siblings could appreciate and understand. michelle_willms at yahoo dot com

In reply to Brittany Wendtland. I remember being the one crying at the haunted house. :)
