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.

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

"You Can Cancel Halloween?"
