Tonight is Halloween and people, especially children, like to dress up in. Scary costumes are prevalent. I like to celebrate Halloween as an opportunity to catechize. I explain that our dead are more alive than we are in heaven. They are still with us. It's a communion of saints. We pray for our deceased loved ones and they pray for us.
I can't forget the candy. Children ring the doorbells and people give them candy. I can give and give and unlike Christmas, no one says, "Oops, I forgot to give them something." It's a time to give and remember.
Enjoy the moment.
