When I was a child--back in the covered wagon days--Halloween was a carefree holiday where we dressed in fun, happy costumes and got free candy. No decorations were necessary, and it did not cost much to participate. I don't ever remember being scared.
We had little if any money, and Mama would sew costumes for me, my twin brother, and my younger sister. I remember one year, using an orange and white checkered piece of material, my brother and I went as Jack and Jill. She simply made a skirt for me and a pair of pants for my brother. We wore our own white shirts! (Mama was quite creative and a good "salesperson"! She could convince us that the costumes she'd made were special.)

Costumes were no more scary than this blue pirate costume.

If anyone was a ghost, they would be a friendly one, flying through the blue sky.

I really don't like scaring small children.
