What will Halloween look like in this year of COVID? Some municipalities are being forthright about cancelling trick or treating or gatherings that are potentially problematic, especially as we deal with the second wave.
have fond memories of my Halloweens when I was a child, especially in the early 1960s. I don’t recall if stores sold costumes. Maybe masks! I really don’t recall. No two people remember things the same way!
In any event, we probably wouldn’t have been able to afford to buy costumes. We had to get creative with old bed sheets, cardboard, paper, string, crayons and other things to make a costume. I grew up in a close-knit neighbourhood, so it was fairly common for hordes of us to descend on a house, brandishing pillowcases that were quickly filling with candy, apples, cookies and other treats.
