Halloween Memories I looked out the window of our apartment on Jenkins St. It was getting dark already, It was only 5:00. I walk to the living room and Zequoia, Tamiya, and Thomas were putting their costumes on. Zequoia was a Bumble Bee, Tamiya was a Butterfly, Thomas was Iron Man, and I was a Vampire. We all get in the car and our mom drives us to Holy Land. We get to the first house. It’s dark creepy, and has a black casket in the yard. “This is scary Lex” Tamiya said. “Yeah, I Know, but we want candy so let's go!” I said. We rung the doorbell, and the casket plays creepy music as it opens. I walk over to the casket. “No don’t go over there” Thomas said. I look in the casket and a skeleton popped up. We all ran to the car. We wanted to rest for a minute, so we went to our Grandma and Grandpa house on Rosemary Ave. We walk to the back yard, and see Catryna, Lil Tony, J,vaun and Grandpa Ben carving pumpkins. We wanted to carve pumpkins too, so we carved our own design. We gathered our pumpkins and sit on the porch and take pictures. …show more content…

Zequoia, Tamiya, Thomas and I played games and did activities at the church. We picked partners to this racing activity with. I picked my cousin Lauren to be my partner.

When I learned that I would have to do my ethnographic report on what I did during Halloween, I was worried because I live in Turnpike and the most excitement that happens in turnpike is the sound of the garbage truck when it comes to pick up the Wednesday trash. Fortunately something did happen to me and I realized I would not have to write a boring paper of how I woke up and just stayed in my room the whole day. Well the day started off with me waking up and walking to the bathroom to take a shower, as soon as the turned the water on I realized I had left my shower and rather than turning off my shower I stayed in because the warmth of the hot water was too seductive for me to get out and get my towel. In the shower I had my usual thoughts about life, death, and comebacks to old arguments. Afterword I got out of my shower and reached for my toothbrush, which was located in a cupboard behind the toilet, but I grabbed at it too quickly and it fell in the toilet. I stood over my toilet for about five minutes just staring at my toothbrush in the toilet not believing what just happened, after that I started blaming myself for being too impatient. When I was done feeling sorry for myself I went into my room in search of another toothbrush but unluckily I couldn’t find one, so I had to go walk to the local store at around 7:30 in search of a toothbrush. While searching for a replacement toothbrush I realized that not that many people were in the store, I had always thought that stores were busiest in the morning and evening but apparently that’s not true. Once I got my new toothbrush I finished brushing, got dressed and went to catch the 11 to the Transit Center.
“Hey Mat since it’s halloween why don't we go to that scary maze everyone is talking about?” said Mark.
Thomas says to his friends we should go to the cemetery tonight after he gets out of work at Kingstown Pizza, or tomorrow because it is Halloween. Jacob agrees with that idea and said that would be cool. Lucas says my grandfather Kevin is in that Cemetery and that we should try to find
It's a tradition for my sister and I to make our Halloween costumes together and carve pumpkins - you know, the whole nine yards. Sometimes our dad would help, but usually it was just us and the dog outside. We would constantly be covered in some kind of paint or dye, whether it be fake blood, face paint, fabric paint, or some years even tea. (We got creative.) The costumes ended up being cool,
“Tis now the very witching time of night, when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out contagion to this world.” This quote by William Shakespeare accurately sums up many cultures’ feelings towards modern-day Halloween. But where did Halloween originate? While there are several different ideas, the one that seems to be the most popular is that Halloween originated from an ancient Celtic rite called Samhain (pronounced sah-win). Halloween has strong roots in Paganism, which is the cause of negative connotations with Christian religion. Many modern Halloween traditions and symbols started
I can’t hold in my excitement as I run to the foyer. Mom looks at me worriedly, but I ignore her and throw open the door before the person standing behind it can knock. He looks at me with boredom lacing his expression, obviously expecting my weird gift to tell the future. I quickly hug him and grab his pale hand, pulling him outside. Tonight is Halloween, and the only time my pale blonde friend visits me. He’s my first and only friend, so I don’t mind that he doesn’t play with me the other three hundred sixty-something days in the year.
Everybody celebrates Halloween, but some people might celebrate the spooky holiday in a variety of ways. Most people celebrate this holiday by going door to door asking the greeters for candy while in their costumes. Others may see the night as an advantage to play pranks on others or even to create public haunted houses or haunted trails. For people that like to hold public events, they may create costume parties. For those that are either lazy or they just don’t want to participate in the events, they may spend the night by staying in their houses and doing an activity of their own. Most do not know this, but Halloween was originally a holiday to honor loved ones who passed.
When those cousins were done trick or treating my cousins on my mom’s side were old enough. I decided to go with them and show them how to get the most candy possible! We would all meet at my grandparent’s house and go from there as my grandma passed out candy. We too would come back and see how much candy we collected, and talk about how excited we were for the following year. We would predict what we will dress up as. Once trick or treating was out of the question and we all grew up we changed our plans.
I can remember traveling to my grandparents’ house for Thanksgiving, I would become so excited the week leading up to the holiday because I was finally able to see my aunts and grandparents all at the same time. We stayed the entire Thanksgiving break at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. On Thanksgiving morning, we would wake up early to watch the Macy’s Day Parade all of us, girls and kids, still in our pajamas cuddle on the floor in front of the tv. Eventually, my mom, Grandma, Aunt Lindsey, and Aunt Elexa would get up to start
As the name suggests, an official annuity arrangement is a duty productive investment funds arrangement planned particularly for administrators, senior officials, key workers and chiefs of an organization. It is one of the best types of annuity plans that empower the administrators to get an expense free wage after retirement. How can this work?
