Those nights were so, so magical.
Every year, as soon as the leaves start changing colors along the quiet street of my New England town, I am immediately reminded of one of my favorite ’90s childhood memories: Halloween. It was the highlight of every autumn, a night of uncomplicated, untethered, old-fashioned fun. It’s the kind of fun I wish for my four kids — the kind that’s often so difficult to get today, between the screen obsession and theand snacks as all their kids convened together to map out their routes.
There were always the extra special houses that knew us — my grandmother, a family friend, and my mom’s best friend — who always went the extra mile for their favorite trick-or-treaters. One made homemade candy apples every year. She wrapped them in wax paper with a curly orange ribbon. And rather than drop it in our pillow case, we’d take a spot on her front porch and enjoy every bite.
