My memorie...That is terrible what those teens did.<br /><br />My memories of Halloween are different. It was always a night of good fun...no horrible pranks that I can think of. Sometimes I have run out of candy to hand out at the door, but never was traumatized by anyone because of it.Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112988669895238674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-63153233270412391582014-11-01T04:42:20.198-04:002014-11-01T04:42:20.198-04:00leuke blog, ik vond u via andere blogger..leuk om ...leuke blog, ik vond u via andere blogger..leuk om hier te lezen...groetjesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-5734600470962550372014-10-31T17:04:19.939-04:002014-10-31T17:04:19.939-04:00That's a shame that you have had such bad expe...That's a shame that you have had such bad experiences of Halloween. My mother celebrated halloween and we always had a party, apple bobbing, games, she would decorate a room with tree branches, fake cobwebs, spiders, we sang a song for halloween, it was very traditional for us and we had a lot of fun. In those days nobody in the UK observed halloween so we were oddballs but now it is popularElderberry-Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197689596360708239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-7261474203888326762014-10-31T16:07:28.490-04:002014-10-31T16:07:28.490-04:00Halloween when my two children were young meant fu...Halloween when my two children were young meant fun times gathering with neighbors. our children did run door to door between some houses to 'trick-or-treat'. it was lovely in our tiny neighborhood just to bond and we all had great fun feeling very safe.
