question: as a child what was your and your parents childhood favorite holiday with its best memory?
my parents childhood best holiday was halloween each would buy the costume that they wanted each year on condition that she would stay at home and only eat one candy like a home costume party. dad went to collect candy with his older brother who stole his bag every year but at least he had fun going around.
my favorite holiday? as a child each special day was ruined by my parents making crazy meal changes.
they were too stingy to buy me costumes for halloween and jewish halloween too! despite they enjoyed costumes in their childhood.
so each holiday was ruined instead special day was the first day of summer vacation but i wnt to a summer camp with mean brast so just as bad as school.
what is left? no happy memory? at all? ah there was a special "yard" carnival when a neighbor had challenge booths and we played challenge games like shoot cand;les with water-gun. and trying to slide a wire-ring on a wire attached to a buzzer i failed but it was a good challenge i also was only allowed one ticket ny my stingy parents so i choose the wore instead of the candles.
other kids had more bfun but at least i ghad a bit of fumn. i coulda ad more fuin if they were less stingy and treated me like kids are usualy treated. with costumes on halloween or at least jewishj halloween. the rich have costume parties often and middle class only once a year so why not once a year? the other jewish holidays were ruined my parents ruined meal time on jewish passover and other days were "same' not joy but too mucjh boring religious reading and same for "weeks" and other festivals. booths except booths i was scared of th ebees or shivered from cold outdoors when booths was in late october. even hanuka they ruined so nothing left except the bneighbors yard gfames.
halloween IS NOT a federal holiday so no vacation and we cna ignore it only veterans daty deserves respect so ignore halloween and respect veterans day a weeklk later instead but what about costumes if you are rich do many times poer uyear and also ignore halloween bkuz enjoy many and if middle class then once a year and like my parents childhood on halloween. to bad i was denied the treatment of the usual common treatment of kids. too late now i will ignore halloween and jewish halloween from now on.
