I hope this link works for you. It shows one type of entertainment for the whole family going on today, which is already Halloween.
I did this yesterday.
I regret that the world is such that Halloween can’t be the simple child-centered holiday it was back in the old days when I was young.
I loved planning ‘what I would be’ each Halloween, using things I found around the house. We never bought store costumes. We loved searching the house for things that would make up our ‘costumes,’ sometimes wheedling, sometimes begging to be allowed to use something that had to be returned in perfect shape after the celebration was over.
My friends and I, usually a group of about six girls, would then walk down the hill toward the neighborhood where houses were much closer together and people really got into the spirit of trick-or-treating. They left their porch lights on if you were welcome to knock at the door. Many of the yards and porches were decorated with wonderful stuff, cute or scary.
My favorite treats were little candy bars. I liked the milk chocolate ones best, being a chocoholic, but ANY candy bars were wonderful. I also loved to get cookies or chips.
When our bags were full, we limped home, tired but elated by our celebration and freedom. My parents made my brother and I dump our goodies on our beds, where they received a cursory parental inspection. Back in those days the main threat was a razor blade in an apple. Then we could choose one big thing or three little things to eat. The rest went back in the bag to be doled out by my mom at her discretion. Those were the days!
I wish you a Happy Halloween – either today or tomorrow – wherever you are. I hope you have a great celebration.

I know exactly what you mean. Thankfully, we braved the cold and wind last night to walk with my daughter, her husband, and our three granddaughters and two of their friends to go trick or treating in New Hampshire! It was my first time out at night and people REALLY over decorated their houses!! The girls would run from the sidewalk to the houses (us adults waited at the sidewalk) and they would squeal trick or treat and say Thank You! Thrilled with all they got!
I bundled up and only my face got cold. But it was sooo worth it! I got a few short videos and will post in a day or two and send you a link. I’m not supposed to show the girls’ faces online so I gotta edit one a bit.

I hear you on the editing. I went back and edited several of my posts for too much information on location and cropping several photos. I’ll look forward to the link.
