So, it's Halloween...

[conuly]

Traditionally, the first day of winter, which makes sense. Think about it.

I got to Jenn's house, and Ana's hair was nicely done in ten braids flat against her head, and not frizzy. It always sucks when I see how nice her hair is and then have to undo it to put in less nice, but non-frizzy braids.

Apparently, Doris "had a spare 15 minutes", so she braided Ana's hair. 'dul was amazed, Jenn was awed, I was... frankly, a little annoyed. I can't do three braids in twice that time, and mine aren't as nice, either! I try not to let it get to me, though. That way lies madness.

We tucked Ana in her cat jacket and drew on her face to take her out Trick-or-Treating. This is the first time she's ever gone, so I had to cut it short. We only did one block. It felt weird, coming home before my feet were aching. *shudders* There's a lot more variety in Halloween treats than when I was a kid - and a lot more older kids going around openly trick or treating. Such a bizarre holiday, really....

College students are a little old to be begging candy, so the campus community service organization sends us out Trick or Treating for canned goods for the community food shelf instead. It's really cool.

My policy on older kids Trick or Treating is they need to have a good costume. Around here that's really how it works, the random guys in jeans and tshirts get probably one piece, while a full costume gets 3-4 and lots of nice compliments on the costume. I witnessed it tonight while I was out.

But overall I'm all for the older kids still going. But I'm biased because I'm one of them =D
