Only in Bucks County: "They Canceled Halloween?"


They canceled Halloween?
These words ring like a bad April Fools joke to kids all around Newtown, Pennsylvania.

They canceled Halloween?
As a kid who was given a ton of freedom (and also one who was not growing up in a Communist country) I never thought that this was even possible.

Really they only postponed Halloween for a week. And intellectually I know that it was dark and cold and very unsafe on the 31st, but for the past week my inner child has been screaming, "They canceled Halloween??!!!!"


 
I mean, last year it snowed!

And with another storm expected, we just may not get a Halloween this year!

So here are some pictures of us celebrating Halloween around our house from years past.

 Candy for the kids:




                       


Red Sangria for the rest of us.
                                                                   Or White Sangria if you prefer!

                                                   Aww!! Michelle at age 11.


                                                Michelle at 15.


         Our very welcoming house.

      

                                                            Actually, it's me below.

Apparently, Elizabeth feels the same way I do about Halloween being canceled in her video

Q: Why was the Mummy so tense?
