Since Halloween is just around the corner, what are some of your favorite memories of this day? And have you ever had a cuddle session on this day with someone? I've never had a session with someone that day but I will tell you a funny story.. I was 8 years old and my parents decided to take myself, two of my cousins and one of my friends from the neighborhood out trick or treating. I'm pretty sure Mom and Dad thought that was a good idea but I'm pretty sure driving all over creation with a car load of kids hopped up on sugar didn't turn out to be such a great idea. Anyway dad pulls over to this one neighborhood and says this is the last one then we go home. We are all running different directions and then we come back. And just like in the Charlie Brown Episode you hear" I got a snickers" or "I got cookies" then you hear me say "I got an orange" It just my luck that I wound up trick-or-treating at a house owned by a health nut..

    My last year Trick or Treating I was 8. My sister was a year older and my baby brother was 1. My stepmother didn't go because she was pregnant. She did dress up my brother. No one could figure out what he was dressed as. They just thought he was a girl because he was wearing a dress and full makeup!

    Oranges are yummy, though! My Halloween core memory is pretty tame: at 11, I dressed up as a pirate, with a little plastic moustache, hair down, red scarf, puffy shirt, boots. And I was totally ahead of my time, watching Pirates of the Caribbean, I couldn't believe how close I'd got to Jack Sparrow 😎 🏴‍☠️

    what are some of your favorite memories of this day?

    Lol! I have many fun memories of Halloween, they all include my son. Yes, they all involve trick or treating memories with him. 😁🎃

    So my son (at the age of 5) decided to voice his opinion about the choice costume that he would be wearing that year. In my defense, I was BROKE and so I couldn't afford a fabulous super hero/cartoon character costume and I was still breaking in a new job too... 🤷😌

    Also my son was getting over being sick with bronchitis (I think 🤔 it was, whoo a lot of years ago. Boy, I'm old 😏) but he was constantly saying, "Mom, I was sick. I'm not sick anymore. Trick or treating, Mom! Please Mom! Trick or treating!"

    He wasn't gonna stop, so I told him we will go out for one hour and we're coming back in. So it was a little chilly out that Halloween, so I bundle him up and pulled out this little cheap $5 mask/combo that I found at Walmart. Lol 😆

    Both pieces were black and the cape had red star on the back, it was perfect for the red stocking cap that I dug out for him to wear outside. 😁

    So as I was getting him dressed I laid the mask/cape combo out on his bed and his OPINION about it was this:

    "That's not a real costume, Mom!"

    Clearly all the speech therapy sessions were successful for him, before he started going he wasn't saying much at all...Lol 🤣 😆

    In the end, he wore his "not real costume" and we had a wonderful hour long trick or treating evening that Halloween. 🎃♥️

    And the following Halloween, I remembered him saying that. I decided to surprise him with a "real costume" that was clearance (yes at Walmart) to $3 it was a Guardians Of The Galaxy: Starlord costume. Lol 🤣

    And I recall between the ages 2 and 4 yrs old, my son kept confusing trick or treating with house visiting. Lol 🤣

    Every house we went to, I had to hold his hand a little tighter because every time someone came to the door with candy he would take off and run up their house. 😆😁

    I'm like standing there like "Son, the candy is here in the bowl, you just missed it!" 🤣🤣🤣

    So yeah, held his hand for a good couple years until he finally got trick or treating down. 🎃♥️😁

    Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Watched Exorcist 1 and 3 for the first time this year. Great movies. Now I’m watching The Shining - a movie I’ve only seen bits and pieces of in the past

    I’m noticing nowadays there’s more high-school age, college age, even straight up adults trick or treating than kids, at least in some of the neighborhoods I drove through last year and I wonder if it will be the same this year. It’s crazy because I remember growing up kids had to stop trick or treating when they turned 13.

    I love Halloween! 🎃 I did a cuddle session on Halloween night last year and showed up dressed as a witch! 🧙‍♀️

    I'll use any excuse to eat candy 🤣

    I would be careful saying that around people named Candy. Learn from Armie Hammer’s missteps.

    @Violetblanket that sounds like a fun session.. Only holiday I had a session on was Christmas Day about 2 years ago..Now having a session on Halloween or even New Year's Day might be in the bucket list

    I love Halloween I've been to some really amazing Halloween parties over the years. Last night I went to a Samhain event. I won't be able to make it this year but next I plan to go to the West Hollywood Halloween parade/festival
