Those Were the Days: How Halloween Used to be Celebrated Like in Good Old days
Autumn: the end of summer, and the beginning of the festive season for which every one of us waits throughout the years! The cool temperatures, the majestic mountains and the splendid landscapes all add their individual touches to enhance the beauty of the season. And in fact, all these are symbolic of something special that is about to arrive: yep, I am talking about Halloween.
It is something that children wait for throughout the year; after all, can they really forget about the 'trick of treat' method or that bag full of candies that they are going to get? In this article I will tell you how the present-day Halloween has changed drastically from the tradition.
Those were the days...the old timers would reminisce, when Halloween was celebrated in a much simpler way than now. As a matter of fact, 'tricking or treating' is not much in vogue now; it's been replaced by lavish fancy dress parties. But the old timers would remember that there was a time when no one could even think of Halloween without the custom of 'tricking of treating', especially children for whom, it was like an excuse to eat candies to their hearts' content!
In those days, children would go around the neighborhood to 'trick' their neighbors, and they were in turn treated with a warm smile and plenty of delicious goodies. Children used to collect those goodies in large brown bags that they used to carry with themselves. The goodies would range from apples to candies, popcorn balls, etc.
Back then, people didn't spend too much money on costumes; they made them on their own. Children were usually the ones who used to get excited at the idea of creating scary Halloween costumes, and they would dig through the pile of the old clothes and other belongings of their parents in order to find suitable items for the costume!
Times have changed now. There is the difference of heaven and hell between the candies of then and now. Then, the candies were homemade and hence completely safe to take. Nowadays, you cannot put any candy in your mouth without inspecting it first for any sharp or harmful objects! There are so many stores displaying a vast range of Halloween costumes that children rarely need to make anything on their own. Nevertheless, some things have still not changed! The fun and excitement about the impending Halloween party is still there in the hearts of young and old alike, the scary part is also there in Halloween parties, and the spooky and ghoulish delicious Halloween recipes too haven't left us!
Even though we have shifted a lot from tradition, the fun is still there, and that is what Halloween is all about, right?
