I just wanted to be moderate and dry again
If you live in sunny CA or FL you likely love Halloween. This is due to the fact that you can decorate and dress up as much as you want. I can particularly say that it is my least favorite holiday. I grew up in the Northeast and all I can remember about Trick or Treating is walking down a chilly cold road and trying not to fall while wearing several layers of clothing under my costume. I never got to wear the cute costumes like I saw in the advertisements and I could barely feel my feet by the time I made it back home. Often it was cold, rainy, and even snowing which made it even more treacherous. The only thing I looked forward to on Halloween was getting back loft where my Dad would have a big pot of hot cocoa on the stove and the heat would be blasting to thaw us out. I would peel off my layers and absolutely sit on top of the floor vent drinking my cocoa. Like any kid I had fun looking through my loot I had taken in but since we weren’t allowed to eat it until it was checked I didn’t even really care about that. I just wanted to be moderate and dry again. As Halloween approaches I do as much as I can to avoid anything to do with it. I make sure to head out to the movies and leave my loft dark so that most people knows that I am not participating in the holiday at all.
