Some of the best memories are from Halloween. Especially around the Chiefs SB IV win. I was 9. Back then open burning of leaves was still allowed and the smell was directly connected to fall, football, and Halloween.
There were no predator monsters at the time, kids ran from house to house with no parents in tow and no fear, all in the pursuit of the best candy.
The houses that played along by playing spooky music and dressing up in costume to hand out candy were mobbed by kids. I wish I could go back in that time just once to witness it again.
Much later, when we lived in town my wife would dress up as a witch to hand out candy. We were a popular house. We then built far out on an acreage where the nearest neighbors are a mile away. To this day our porch light comes on at 6 and shut off at 8 with nobody stopping. 22 years running no trick or treaters other than the neighbors stopping for a trick or beer.
Then that douche Bush changed daylight savings time change to the first week of November which means now where I live a lot of the trick or treating happens in daylight or dusk. BULLSHIT.
