Halloween Or Die

​As a kid growing up in Minnesota, Halloween was usually a bitter cold night. In fact, one year we trick-or-treated in a blizzard. I remember thinking nothing was going to stop us from getting our candy, and it never did. Now that I have kids, I try and put myself back in my own shoes when I see them desiring something as badly as I desired to go out on Halloween night. It's easy to lose perspective on how important little things were to us back then, when really, our only reality at the time made us treat it like a life or death situation.
