Subject: Favorite Halloween Mummeries
Content: Since it's that time of year once again (AT LAST!), I was just wondering if anybody would be interested in sharing any of their favorite mummeries (memories) from past halloweens. One of my favorite memories is the year I had my daughter lie on the floor, traced around her "bones" and made a poster board skeleton out of her. I put all of the "bones" in a brown grocery bag, folded the bag down so the bones stuck out of it, wrote "Angie's Bones" on it and sat it on the fireplace. That was a good twenty years ago (she was no more than 12, maybe 10, at the time) and she still talks about that every halloween. It's a good mummery for me cause it made something for her that she never forgot. We used that little prop for several years til the posterboard started falling apart and I finally tossed it...I do wish I had it now cause not sure I can remember exactly how I did that or I'd do another one of her for NOW. lol She laughs every year about that and how I wouldn't tell her what I was doing or why while I was tracing around her so she had no idea til she came home from school one day and found it.
