Do you celebrate Halloween?
When I was a kid we didn’t celebrate it because my mom taught it was all from Satan, she even refused to send us to school on Halloween day!
As a grown woman with my own family and I have been working on getting my own convictions about it.
I am weary of all the scary parts of Halloween, trick-or-treating in the evening, dressing as ghost, witches, monsters you name it. With my Haitian background, all this dark stuff is very real and not to be messed with!
At the same time I don’t want to keep my kid home every single Halloween day in his life wondering what he is missing out on.
So, we’ve kind of made our own traditions about Halloween. It’s a celebration of Pumpkins! We dress up as our favorite animal or hero costumes, we gather home with friends and family and eat Pumpkin everything; Pumpkin soup, Pumpkin bread, Pumpkin pie, Roasted Pumpkin seeds etc. We also have a few candies!
How about you? What do you do for Halloween? Is it similar to what you did growing up?
