Last night Audrey and I were cuddled up reading some stories and we got out Tasha Tudor’s “A Time to Keep” about old timey celebrations of all the holidays and special days around the year. Of course our favorite section had to do with October and, of course, Halloween!
Making cider, carving ‘pumpkin moonshines’, bobbing for apples, going to Halloween parties and getting scared on a foggy autumn night all make it as highlights to October in Tasha’s sweet little book. It was also sweet to have my own little one read the pages to me, as her reading gets better every day. I know she’ll be reading tons of Tasha books and many others to her little brother when he arrives this winter….
What’s your favorite old-timey Halloween activity? Will you be indulging in some apple cider or attending a spooky party come Halloween night?
Whatever you do, hope you have a wonderful time! The night of fun and spookiness grows nearer!~!
More New England spookiness to come….
