While the cornfield filled with monsters,' and other horrible things, turned out being as still and peaceful as the harvest air. Finally, when all the houses on the street have been conquered and your bag is full of delicious candy, such as; Reeses Pieces, Milk Duds, Sweet Tarts, M&M's, Jawbreakers, Skittles, Twizzlers, Taffy and even some an assortment of fruits, you realize another American Halloween has just passed and you seemingly have a lifetime supply of sugar, or at least for a week or two.
Each evening of October 31st, millions of children in America, experience this memory. They go out with friends, family, or neighbors and celebrate a holiday in America known as Halloween. While, Halloween means different things to different people; for most it is a day for children and adults alike to pretend to be someone they aren't. An assortment of costumes allows this possibility. However psychologically disturbing it may be, everyone can sometimes, occasionally get sick of being themselves. Thus, dedicating one day a year to break out of their skin to wear that of another is a way to test drive different personalities. Halloween is a holiday that allows and encourages this. Such curiosity goes a long way in developing personality and because of Halloween; children can even better comprehend what is real and what isn't. Sometimes, boys will pretend they're pirates, superheroes or even famous athletes, while girls may dress as princesses, cute animals or beauty queens. Adult costumes are usually of the same sort, strange enough. As the old clich goes, "Fantasies, unlike bodies never grow old or die." .
After hours of combing neighboring houses, with lit porch lights, knocking on hundreds of doors and children quoting the same rhyme, "trick-or-treat," to numerous men and women alike, passing out candy, the night soon comes to an end. Hours later, usually between ten or eleven o'clock, the trick or treaters,'as they are known, walk into a warm house to tally up their earnings.
