When my children were younger, Halloween was without a doubt my favourite day of the year. Decorating the house was a major event, not to be taken lightly! Then, of course was the question of costumes. I am not the most domestic of mother’s but I managed to pull together some interesting outfits. The Fireman and Batman and Robin were my favourites.

Going door to door with my kids on a beautiful fall day, meeting the neighbours, seeing the little ones who could barely talk saying “Trick or Treat”, these are among my happiest memories.

I still love Halloween, but it is no longer the big event it used to be in our house. I love it because it is a fun! Nothing but fun! Dress up, decorate your house, go to parties and enjoy yourself. No obligations, or juggling of commitments. No gifts to buy. Just pure simple fun.

Don’t we all need more fun in our lives?
