Our family was ALWAYS INTO HOLIDAYS and we ALWAYS did it all OUT. Now that I am a mother I realize how much time and energy goes into that whole process. We ALWAYS had decorations up, we ALWAYS all carved our own pumpkins and we ALWAYS had a HALLOWEEN themed dinner with spook burgers, orange salad and all....Iam no grateful for the money, time and SLEEP that went to that cause for our benefit.
I also very much remember my mom introducing us to the movie "watcher in the woods" when we were tweens. Although it is a Disney production I believe...we would ALWAYS freak oursleves out watching it. In Pennsylvania we had no curtain on our back sliding glass window that looked into the woods--and I remember after watching that movie not being able to go into that room afraid of what was watching me in the woods. We also were having a birthday sleepover and we had talked about the movie so much every girls was in an absolute panic and my mom had to clean up that "mess" :)
I LOVE LOVE holidays with my mom--she always made them so fun we would hardly choose friends over them--we wanted to be with them

I remember a few years ago, we went to my parents Trunk-or-treat with Chad’s family. Mom was dressed as a pirate. With her teeth all rotting out on the bottom (due to diabetes), she REALLY looked like a pirate J We took lots of pictures and still laugh about it to this day. I know this year she REALLY wanted to go topless as her Halloween costume because she says she looks so scary (with all her scars and missing breasts). She is in good spirits and can still joke around about her condition which is a positive thing.
