Holiday

Halloween was never one of my favorite holidays, because even
at a young age it represented something evil to me. But one of the
rituals was to purchase a big, healthy pumpkin and clean its
insides out, so we may carve any figuration that we wanted. That
was fun, but the best part of it all was eating all of the
candy I received from trick-or-treating.
