Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween Fotolians,
With the end of the month approaching thoughts of ghosts, goblins, witches, super heros, princesses, and all manor of children in costumes enter my mind. As a new parent I often reflect on my adventures as a youth. My Halloween experiences are not too hard to remember. They were great times. I remember my different costumes; I’ve been a ghost, a vampire, a rock star, some Disney character, and in my older years a member of the blues brothers. I had masks, painted faces, dyed hair, and cheap plastic costumes.
It amazes me that my parents and parents nationwide on this one night of the year allowed us to dress up, wander the neighborhood after dark, and collect candy from strangers. It is as though all the house rules flew out the window on October 31st. If I tried to any of those things any other day of the year I am sure I would be grounded for a month. But October 31st was a special day. Now I was with friends and I knew most of the homes we knocked on, but still the freedom was unbelievable.
I am sure I will continue the same traditions with my children but for now my little princess, giraffe, or pumpkin (whatever custom she selects) won’t be more than 2 feet away from me and my wife.
Don’t forget that Halloween photos can be great sellers on Fotolia, so grab your cameras and snap pictures of your friends and children.
Have a Happy and Safe Halloween.
