Never too old:

Trick-or-treating's still fun

Laura Hahn

 

AAAHHH! You scream as you see a large hooded figure pop out of the bushes.  You start to run and you can feel your heart pounding as the figure gets closer and closer.  Finally, the footsteps stop and you warily turn around only to see your dad dressed up as Dracula.

 

 Now, you were six years old and at the time, this was really scary, but as you look back, all you can do is laugh.

 

To disguise yourself as something new, scary and exciting appeals to people of all ages. Just remember your good old dad.  I've heard many people say that once you hit high school, your trick-or-treating days are over. That's not true.  All you have to do is think of a fun costume, and with little a sewing and quick snip of the scissors, you're all set.

 

Once your costume is ready and you've got a pillow case for all your candy, go out and start ringing doorbells.  Wandering around in the dark dressed in a costume, pounding on your neighbors' doors and asking for free candy on any normal night may  seem odd or even scary, but on the night of Oct. 31, pound on all the doors you want and get as much free candy as you can.

 

Whether you're dressed as Dracula, hiding in the bushes or your  favorite movie star, you are never too old to enjoy Halloween.  It's a holiday for everyone.
