Trick or treat! When said by children, these three words bring back a flood of childhood memories to most adults. Memories of masquerading as vampires, haunted houses, ghosts, witches, ghouls, monsters, and bags of candy.

Memories of canvassing the neighborhood, going door to door, shouting those three little words, and watching their bags fill up with all sorts of candies, apples, nuts and other goodies.

Memories of parades, parties and playing “tricks,” like soaping the neighbors’ windows, “decorating” their trees with toilet tissue, or playing “baseball” with their roadside mailboxes.

Yes, hearing the words “trick or treat” from little children can cause adults to wish they were kids again.

“After all,” one might reason, “what’s so wrong with Halloween anyway?” So let’s dive in, and look at the history behind the mask. #TrickOrTreat #Medieval #Druid #BoneFire #LeVay #Sorcery #Witchcraft #Ghost #Gouls #Witches #TruthBehindTheMask #HistoryOfHalloween #Halloween #Evil #Truth #Apostolic #Christian #CoffeeWithTheMissionary #WhyWeDontCelebrateHalloween #Pagan
