What is halloween? Apparently it is an annual holliday celebrated October 31 where people get to dress up in all sorts of costumes, kids go trick-or-treating, others go on haunted mansions, or stay home and watch scary movies. people carve or decorate with pumkins, and black and orange are primarily the colors associated with the celebrations. Black for the night, and orange for fire…I really don’t care much about halloween. The outfits i ever bought were mainly for Julian and it was because everyone else at his daycare was getting dressed up for their little parade. Since this year Julian is not in daycare, i chose not to buy any costumes and him and Eli will not participate in any festivities.
We didn’t buy any candy for trick-or-treaters, there are no kids on my block, plus i really don’t like giving even Julian candy. He already have several food allergies, imagine having to go trick-or-treating and having to turn around and confisicate all that candy given to him! I know parents try to make sure that their children don’t eat all the candy till they get home and get to sort it all out, but… That is one chore i will gladly avoid.
Most candy given to kids has milk, of course lots of sugar and fat, and the no-no for us, nuts. Let me see, fun or crying child, and or sick child…mmmh, we will stay home and make fun of our own. We will watch some movies, Julian can have some milk and crackers, then we will save the kettle popcorn for tomorrow.
So for the families that have children with food allergies and will trick-or-treat , please be careful, and of course make sure they don’t eat anything that can cause a reaction.
Stay safe and Happy Halloween.
