Cleverly Concocted Costumes

Is this the favorite holiday or 2nd-favorite?  In Ogden I see early celebration and hear differing opinions about Halloween ... from “the most evil” (recalling history of house burnings in Detroit) to “a fun family time for kids in costumes”.  When our five were young, I called it “meet-your-neighbors night”.  It worked!

Gypsy Kay stayed home, told fun fortunes, and handed out treats.  I followed the children around our East Mill Creek neighborhood, accepted a few extra treats for myself, and got acquainted with some nice folks I was too shy to meet otherwise.  The costumes Kay and friends concocted?  So clever and cute!!
