The Pioneer Woman
Back in the Dark Ages, when I was trick-or-treating, we came up with our own costumes. We might buy an accessory or two, but mainly we decided who or what we would ‘go as,’ and then start trying to put the look together. It was fun, and part of the joy was the figuring out who your friends ‘came as,’ and if they would ‘get’ your costume goal.
Then there was a period it seemed like kids and their parents just wanted to buy their favorite characters off the shelf at a store. Homemade things were just sad at that point, and stores charged more and more for you to buy the ‘in’ costumes.
Now it seems that anything goes, and I love that. Each year I scour the Internet to find out what is new this year, and the creativity of people thrills me. The costumes just get cuter and cuter and the decorations and pumpkins improve exponentially each year, although I would have sworn they couldn’t.
