Halloween looked a little different when many of us were growing up. 🎃

Maybe Mom made your costume at the kitchen table. Maybe you wore one of those plastic masks that was nearly impossible to see out of!

What was the costume you remember most? Bonus points if you still have an old Halloween picture tucked away somewhere. Share it in the comments!

Some memories come rushing back before you even realize what triggered them. 🍂

Maybe it’s apple pie in the oven, chili simmering on the stove, leaves outside, wood smoke in the air, or that unmistakable smell when the furnace came on for the first chilly night of the year.

What smell takes you straight back to fall at home?
