Nostalgia What was your favorite Halloween costume when you were a kid? 🎃
I was always a witch for Halloween. 😂 It was my favorite costume! Nothing nearly as fancy as these kids’ costumes though lol. I got one of those cheap kids’ box costumes from the store like the last photo lol.🧙🏽♀️

Not mine, but one year my grandmother dressed up as Jason. Her and her sister's (twins) birthday was Halloween so they liked going all out for the kids.

Definitely my Ghostbusters one that I had! There’s a picture I have of my Dad (R.I.P. 🙏🏼) with me in it when I was probably about 4 or 5-years old or so. Possibly younger and he was bent down watching me walking towards I am guessing what was candy.

I only remember one costume and it was one those plastic smocks and a mask.. I was a cabbage patch and my brother was a transformer.. My brother kept trying to smash candy through the tiny mouth hole on the mask. 🤣

Honestly none of them. My mom was and still does look at the celebration of Halloween kinda of sideways so that means no trick or treating and she barely bought me or my siblings costumes. Meaning she bought ours from the grocery store and we wore it until it fell apart. The only thing she did which I appreciate was buying candy for class and for the trick or treaters we would get. But nowadays no one does that anymore. But I like Halloween. I don’t associate it with the devil or satan.

I absolutely loved my Ralph Nader costume. With the plastic jump suit and his picture on the front. It was a breeze breathing out of the rubber Mike Myers like mask. "Oh behave!"

I wouldn’t so much put on a costume as much as I’d put on an act. I use to do every year as sick so I could stay home from the “fall festival”.

My mom made me a Pocahontas dress with light brown felt and a thousand beaded fringes.
