Halloween Costumes were better this year

[AllentownJake]

Less kids wearing Wal-Mart crap, more kids in home made costumes.

Guess it is a sign of the recession.

3. Great time for kids

I liked Halloween better than Christmas.

My mom always would make our costumes from scratch using patterns from the fabric shop.

9. My mother made me the greatest costumes!

I won more costume contests when I was a kid, than any other kid I knew! I used to feel sorry for the kids with store bought costumes, cuz it was always so much more fun to make one. I think it's one reason why I still love Halloween!

I'm another one who likes Halloween better than Christmas. My house is all decorated with bats, skeletons, withces & of course, Jack-o'lanterns! At Christmas, I don't put up a thing - not even a tree.

11. Moms are the greatest

My brother is autistic and was obsessed with Star Trek. She made him a costume for one Halloween. Only problem is that after Halloween it was the only thing he wanted to wear for 6 months.

4. I was at a store in San Francisco yesterday that was totally packed.

A lot of tacky junk. Homemade costumes are way more fun.

More kid's made their costumes this year than last year.

8. I'm going as The Count from Sesame Street this year

My girlfriend is making me a monocle and I'm going to talk in a funny accent all night.

"One, Two, Three snickers bars for little kid. Ah Ah Ah."

5. I can still think of the smell of the inside of those plastic masks

against my nose after wearing it for a few minutes.

10. I loved my homemade costumes as a kid

I remember one year I begggggged for a store bought Rainbow Brite costume and it wasn't nearly as good. That plastic face mask was hot!
