I loved Halloween as a kid! Like, what kid doesn't? Walking around the neighborhood in the evening, all dressed up, walking door-to-door collecting candy that will last me for the next year.
When I got a little older, maybe 10 or 11 years old, I found myself much more self-conscious and didn't enjoy dressing up for Halloween as much. Halloween also became a lot more "sexy," and I didn't really vibe with that.
All the Halloween decor that they sell in the store is also a bit too creepy for me. So, I just stopped participating in Halloween activities altogether.
However, now that I have my own kids, I am starting to embrace my inner child again and enjoy the fun and cute costumes. I even made BB a Wilderness Explorer costume for her first Halloween! Nowadays, my girls enjoy dressing in pretty princess dresses with magical wands.
