Was talking to long-time blog reader Mr. Macabre and he suggested a neat project of sorts for this old Halloween blog. An open call to anyone who wants to partake. An invitation to submit a photo and maybe a blurb about your favorite Halloween possession. You know the one - that special item you've had for years and years. The one that reminds you of all the things you love about our High Holiday. That particular decoration or object you couldn't do without.
The first submission is by Mr. Macabre himself. This special piece was made by his daughter when she was in kindergarten - 30 years ago. A jack o'lantern made from a brown paper lunch bag, with a perfect little face.
I can see why such a thing would be cherished and on display for decades. It's perfectly nostalgic, and if I found something similar in a roadside antique shop, I would certainly buy it, wondering all about its backstory.
Thanks, Mr. Macabre!
I'm so glad you shared this Halloween memory with me.
