I built a fire in our fire place, popped some popcorn, had some cheese and apples, and a little candy, and that was it. It kept them busy and distracted from all the other kids out there.That sounds like fun! What did your kids think about it at the time, and what do they think about it now?
They thought it was fun at the time and they didn’t know what they were *missing*.
My kids never had nightmares of night terrors and I wasn’t about to start with that by letting them see the *costumes* most kids in our neighborhood went out trick-or-treating in.
Their opinion now? I really don’t know. They never complained about missing it. They’re all in their 20’s now and scattered across the globe at the moment so there’s not much chance to ask them.
