Spooky ladies who lunch. AKA Witchy Mom and Flapper Ghost. c. 2000
When I was nine or ten my mother really got into the spooky spirit and answered the door on Halloween ready to hand out candy dressed as a witch in a caftan and pointy black flats. At the time she was the only mom to dress in costume and all the kids loved it. (This was way back when Halloween still belonged to kids.)
Many years later we started a new tradition of a quiet mother/daughter celebration. We dressed in costume and went out to lunch or dinner. We were the only ones who did this and I added to the festivities by handing out candy to anyone who crossed our path.
My mother says Halloween is her favorite holiday so we continue the lunch tradition sans full costume but we might wear a spooky accessory, like skeleton earrings in silver or a black cat stole. I still hand out candy.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN from us to you!

Spooky looking John Waters.
How can we improve Halloween? Mix up your rituals this year. Dress up as your parents, then have them dress up as you, and go out trick-or-treating together.
– John Waters, American film director and author.
Happy Halloween, readers. Make it a fashionably spooky one!
