On your way to school as you"re walking up the sidewalk you can't help but to have a tiny tingle in your tummy. Despite the fact that it's late October, one doesn't need to recognize the date to sense that a day of "escape" is soon approaching. In the company of only a light jacket the temperature feels precisely just, not cold, on the contrary cool. The tranquil breeze leisurely kisses your cheeks enhancing the excitement for at this time you can smell the assorted aroma of delicately dried leaves and dense moist soil. Despite the damp weather, the air is innocent and crisp. Trees give the impression as if they were set ablaze. Every assortment of colour commencing from saffron to scarlet is obvious. The impression of leaves compressing through every footstep carried out is just as stimulating as the sound they generate. Houses are ornamented with such effort and settled on the porch steps rests a crooked smiling jack-o-lantern. Like the fire that lights up his face, once your eyes meet, you glimmer too. The first break since school commenced is here, Halloween has arrived. .
In the weeks previous to Halloween I would be anxiously determining what I desired to modify myself into. Once my preference was complete, the anticipation of selecting my costume was afterward. Everyday, following school the routine was identical; hop in the car and travel store to store rummaging on behalf of the appropriate outfit. After a decent week of searching the nightly dress rehearsals took place. I would spend hours practicing how to apply my makeup, the proper way fasten my attire, and in what way I will exclaim the legendary phrase "trick or treat". .
As a child I recall Halloween being one eccentric festival. For the entire month of October every class in elementary schools were adorned with grinning wizards and growling witches. Orange and black were the solitary colours utilized. I remember my French teacher exchanging her daily vocabulary posters with new Halloween terminology.
