Halloween has always been a special holiday for our family. I met my husband on a blind date on Halloween night (through our friend Heidi—Bless her FOREVER)! It's a holiday that was created to scare away evil or stranded spirits and to give to the poor; the beggars who went from door to door.

“To LIFE!”
