At the age of twenty or so, I may scoff at the excitement of some toddlers trick or treating during Halloween. That’s what we get when we grow up, we get to be more rationale and not get to be excited at small things in life like we used to when we were kids—but no matter how much we roll our eyes at such fuss over such occasion, we can’t help but feel nostalgic too.
Back in the days where we have our own fairy costume and we walk hand-in-hand with our parents or our best friend and scurry through the neighborhood and yell “Trick or treat!” hoping we could go to even the last house at the end of the street and happily get home with our heavy baskets full of Halloween sweets.
Where we get excited to see what is in store for each household and gobble up as much retro sweets as we can never minding our mother’s warning about tooth decay and stomach ache. For us, Halloween will be incomplete without the usual scary treats of spiders, fangs, little skulls and other scary treats. We get to “exchange” sweets with our best friend or siblings who want to have this on your basket and you want to have that on theirs.
Yes…Halloween can bring out bittersweet memories indeed…it even brings out your memory on your worst Halloween costume ever and your true spooky experiences during Halloween. But whatever age range I or you are in, it is no denying that Halloween is not just for kids who trick or treats, nor for Halloween sweets or treats...is it also for us…it brings out the good old memories of childhood and pure innocence of getting excited even just by getting a load of candies for a night.
