Sometimes we need a good laugh

Halloween 2013


As a baby-boomer growing up in the 50's and 60's Halloween was just starting to become a real holiday. The local drug stores proudly displayed their cheap plastic masks with elastic supports. Every kid loved dressing up and getting 'Free' candy from strangers. During that time period we never worried about someone disguising Ex-lax as a chocolate treat. As my kids grew I passed on the tradition. As they grew into adults I still tried to keep the spirit alive. It's one thing to decorate for Christmas, but how many ways can you pose Santa. Halloween gave you carte blanche to let your imagination run wild. But alas all things must come to an end. Last year was probably my final glory (See video at the bottom) At least my neighbors are carrying on the tradition.  
Have a "Happy Halloween."
