Tomorrow my kids will be party trick or treating in a posh condominium. Us parents are aware of the danger of such treats which are usually candies, chocolates and other junk foods traditionally given to children… maybe to poison them. So my wife and I have resorted to planning to stuff the kids with good food before they go, and bringing their own snacks in case they get hungry, and teaching the driver and the nannies to just smile and accept the treats but never feeding these to the kids.
The kids are excited. Mommy this evening just brought home their angel wings. Their costume is they are supposed to be angels. Oh they are so cute they do look like angels.
As for myself, I never grew up appreciating this foreign tradition they call halloween. I have fond memories of all saints day and all souls day. Fond memories of visiting the cemetary which today is just a walking distance from where we live. My kids and and I should walk on over the cemetary and pay our respects to our ancestors. My grandfather just visited me in a vivid dream last week. I woke up at 4am, it was that vivid.
