Adam at omg.lol proposed a low-stress blogging challenge for the month of October - blog a memory of the Halloween season!
I thought I’d share about Halloween and growing up. Holidays never felt like that big of deal growing up. My dad was (still is) a pastor so the major holidays involved him being busy. Halloween isn’t exactly a favorite holiday in the church so he typically wasn’t busy for it but Holidays in general weren’t a big deal.
I remember a few instances of dressing up and going to Halloween parties or trick-or-treating. Being a pirate as a little kid. Being a monk when I was a bit older. Mostly though Halloween consisted of going out to eat as a family (pizza hut with a salad bar was the typical goto), renting a movie, getting some candy and going home, turning out the lights and watching the movie (something like “Surf Ninjas” or “3 Ninjas” :face_palm: :cringe:.
Boring but fun in its own right. I have lots of fond memories of low key, quiet holidays.
