Growing up my brother and I were never allowed to celebrate Halloween. Our parents didn't believe in it so we never once dressed up, trick or treated, or anything of the sort. Wanted to, but just wasn't allowed in the house, so I learned to accept it (you don't really miss what you never had). So even into adulthood I never did anything for Halloween because well... it was always a kid thing y'know? Only thing I've ever done, is each year on Halloween night our tiny town has a little celebration at the park, where there's free hot dogs and hot chocolate, a bonfire, and at the end of the night they do fireworks, so I was always allowed to go to that. I still do as an adult now, it's the one "Halloween" think I enjoy (that, and being old enough to buy my OWN DAMN CANDY XD). It's fun to go hang out with everyone, and see the kids in their costumes... even if they have to wear them over snowsuits cause it was so cold! (didn't matter if it was -40, kids would still trick or treat!)

I told this to my SS, and basically said for this swap, I just wanted to have a little fun since I've never done anything truly "Halloweeny" before so I'd be happy with anything!

And HOLY CRAP did they deliver! I am just blown away by how spoiled I got! My SS was BEYOND AMAZING! So many wonderful goodies, so much candy! They even wrote a super sweet letter about how Halloween was always such a huge thing to them, so they wanted to share that with me by making me a "Starter Halloween".

I was just completely blown away, such kindness and generosity! I love every bit of it! There was more, but my big brother grabbed the rest of the Skittles and ran like a bandit LOL.

I want to thank you so, so very much for all of this, it was just... amazingly kind. There's no way we'll ever eat even a fraction of this candy, so I'm going to pass it along and give it out on Halloween at the park! :) (and be totally blinged out in all the glow in the dark stuff XD)
