    Halloween was a time of candy corn, jack-o'-lanterns, candy kisses, peanut butter cups, bubble gum, Fig Newtons, soapy windows. I tried to tell about Halloween and what it represented to me— a great ritual of childhood when the world for a single night opened its doors and its coffers of candy and fun and happiness.
