| {Ward Trunk or Treat tonight} |
The Ward Trunk or Treat was held tonight and the primary was in charge of planning it. Which means lots of work for me! For many many years, I was ashamed to admit this, ashamed that it would reveal me as a party pooper (or worse). But I’ve been in the business of begrudgingly half-smiling through the month of October for a good long time now, and I’m finally comfortable enough with myself to say it:
I do not like Halloween.
Now I know many of you DO like Halloween. Love Halloween! For many of you it might even be your favorite holiday. This post is not meant to convince you of the error of your ways; in fact, I’m glad for you that you love Halloween. Go forth and decorate your front porch with all manner of smiling pumpkins and sparkly witches! I’m just talking about myself here. Venting on the internet. Anyway: no need to feel defensive, is all I’m saying.
But I think the trunk or treat turned out fine and there were over 200 people in attendance, which is a pretty big turnout for a ward party. We held a chili cook off with prizes awarded for the most spicy, most original and best overall chili. And then I had everyone sign-up to bring either corn bread or rolls to go along with it. One of my counselors, Aja, brought donuts for dessert and the children all played games in the primary room and on the stage before going out to the parking lot for the actual trunk or treat. I thinnnnnk everyone had a fun time and I know that I was glad when it was over! :)
