remember when…
… Halloween was much sweeter.
And people dressed up like cowboys & indians.
Remember when people were cheerleaders, nurses, football players, and han solo (was Amy a secretary?).
I know some people still have classic dress-ups, but it seems like Halloween has turned into vampires and dead brides and icky stuff. Which is why on a scale of 1-10 of liking Halloween … I’m at a 1. Sorry kids. It’s true.
Let’s look at fantastic Holidays:
Christmas… celebrating Christ’s birth
Easter… celebrating the Resurrection & remembering Christ’s life
Thanksgiving… family and gratitude
Independence Day… celebrating freedom
uhhh… Halloween… trick-or-treat (give me candy) … creepy decorations all over the neighborhood.
I’m the grinch of Halloween. I’ll take the cute part of Halloween like littles dressed up sweetly. But I’d skip the rest.
I just can’t stand paying money on a costume that is dorky or cheaply made that will be worn once. I could sew?! sigh…
I wanted us to all dress up like something similar.
Sesame Street?
Even Jimmy poo-pooed that idea. But isn’t the Green shirt perfect for Truman – It’s his favorite color. And Liza as Big Bird!
We’ve got the super hero thing:
But don’t ya think every kid is going to be Batman this year?
I was aiming for the Book of Mormon Hero theme but nobody liked that one. Plus, I’d have to sew. Ummm… not gunna happen.
Sigh… Halloween – be gone!
Oh Liza as Big Bird would be adorable!! I too am not much for Halloween. The kids (and Rob) decided they wanted to do a Star Wars theme this year, I had to look up who it is I’m going to be, guess I’m not as big a fan as they are…. but that means Rob can’t complain on the money I spent on costumes cause heaven knows I can’t sew either!
Amen and Amen. I remember in high school when my best friend’s dad called Halloween “Satan’s Chrismtas” and I was all “rude!” Not anymore. I really dislike Halloween so much but darn it, Nathan thinks it’s so fun. So, for him, I try to do the “happy” parts of Halloween – cute ghosts, happy jack-o-lanters, etc. It just makes me so dark mad to drive around town and see the creepy, scary gross things in peoples yards.
