Halloween
Ho Ho Halloween
“This is from 1988 I believe, I would have been 5. While other little girls were dressing up as princesses, witches, or something cute, my mother decided to dress me as Santa Claus! Because what 5 year old little girl wouldn’t want to be Santa for Halloween? My sister was a duck, my mother convinced her she was dressed as Howard the Duck (I was so jealous!). Another one of my sisters is a dog, and my oldest sister was a fashionable 80’s fashionista (lucky!). That’s my mom in the picture, proudly showing off her misfit kids!”

Mummified
“My dad was a history enthusiast. My mom a nurse. On a dark and stormy night they joined together and this is what happened.”

The Metamorphosis
“A few years back, during Halloween, a friend’s mom took this photo with her son who was dressed as a bug. She refused to sit next to him!”

Beauty And The Beast
“When I was younger, my family and I would have themed Halloween costumes. This year was Beauty and the Beast. My aunt’s Lumiere costume was a crowd favorite, of course, and my older sister was forced to be Cogsworth just for the photo. The photo also features myself as Belle, my little sister as Chip, my mother at Mrs. Potts, and my dad as the Beast. It’s an odd picture, but one of my favorites from my childhood.”
And the year before…

Fallen Angel
She was the only kid in the neighborhood who dressed up as gravity.

Trick or Treat
“This is my husband, Mike, in the picture. The one dressed up as a vampire. He was about 8 according to my in-laws. That’s his grandmother, Linda, to the right laying in the hospital bed. On Halloween day, Linda started experiencing some pains and had to be rushed to the hospital and was told she needed surgery immediately. Being the loving grandmother that she is, she requested to see the grandchildren before going into the operating room. Though Mike’s mother informed Linda that he was already in costume and probably wouldn’t be appropriate for him to come to the hospital like that, Linda insisted she see all the grandchildren. Though Mike’s other siblings are out of shot, every time we come across this photo, we always bust out laughing. Who wouldn’t want to be visited by a short vampire right before surgery?”
