Would Halloween have been half as exciting without the promise of candy?

When I was a kid, Halloween meant it was the time of the year to dress up in a spooky costume and go from house to house with my friends, asking for treats. People usually gave us something, so we got used to the dynamic. We knocked, someone opened the door and filled our pumpkins with candy. Excellent transaction. The best one ever invented. How could we not love Halloween?

I remember one Halloween it rained, and one of my friends' moms drove us around the neighborhood so we could still go trick-or-treating. I remember how happy I was that we didn't have to give up on the evening. We still got to visit houses and collect our treats because she took us. What a generous soul to spend part of her night helping a car full of children get more sugar. I'm still grateful. I hope she's doing well now and all her wishes came true!!

Historically, I've always loved sweet treats. So of course I didn't need Halloween to get excited about chocolate. My mom used to buy me a Hershey's milk chocolate bar after school, and that was enough to make my afternoon feel special. I loved having something sweet to look forward to after spending the day in class. Imagine leaving school and knowing there was chocolate involved! Such a wonderful way to finish my school day.

The cat didn't like the Halloween decoration.

Today I love chocolate just as much. My mom was probably the one who encouraged my sweet tooth. The difference is that now I can buy the chocolate bar myself because I'm an adult, which I find sometimes a little dangerous (I could spend all my money on treats.) Being an adult is mostly having responsibilities interrupted by the realization that I'm allowed to buy my own treats. I can walk into a store, choose whatever bar I want and put it in my basket without asking anyone. I'm basically a kid with money. A kid who also has to remember to buy dish soap.

And I still get that little burst of happiness when I open the wrapper. Even though the packaging design has slightly changed, it's familiar and it reminds me of when I was a kid and was delighted by something my mom had bought for me. And the chocolate still tastes amazing.

You decide.

I'm always in the mood for treats. But with Halloween getting closer, I'm in the mood for more treats than ever. When I was a kid, a successful Halloween meant coming home with as much candy as possible. Now, I get more excited about putting together a cool costume and going to a party with my friends. My Halloween plans have changed, but the enthusiasm remains the same. And if there’s chocolate at the party or after the party, that's even better. I haven’t outgrown that part and never will.
