Happy Halloween!!!

By the local correspondent Inaya Sinha

Happy Halloween!!! Did you have a spooky evening? I definitely did!!! I normally talk about what I experienced but I have a few questions for you first - Who did you dress up as? Did you decorate your house? What candy did you give out? And most of all, did you have fun???

At my house, we decorated our door and the area between the lift and our house. We had these pumpkin streamers and this spooky little doorbell which opened its green eye when you pressed the button. We also used cotton to replicate spider webs and had these plastic spiders and cockroaches and rats which I used to scare my family.

Before I talk about my costume - have you watched Wednesday? If not, Wednesday is a TV show on Netflix and is about this girl whose wicked prank gets her expelled from her school and then her parents enroll her in a school  (it is a school named Nevermore Academy where they have houses like werewolves, vampire etc.) where they met each other. As you can probably guess, I am Wednesday the girl who is allergic to color, has been in eight schools in five years and spreads mayhem wherever she goes.

In my building, every year we have a Halloween party and the building takes us for trick or treating. This year, I was actually really late for trick or treating as on the 31st we had a field trip in school and got home a bit late and missed a few houses but got quite a bit of candy. We got so much candy and chocolates at home that not even 1/4 of it is over!!! After trick or treating, there was a party in the building where they played these games like zombie walk and mummy wrap. In zombie walk, we had to put our legs in buckets and walk like a zombie and in mummy wrap your mummy had to wrap you up like a mummy!!!

We even had a Halloween party in school!!! I wore my Wednesday costume to school and after lunch, we played some games. The teachers planned a murder mystery for us where someone had been murdered in a hotel and there were witnesses who had left us clues which we had to solve and there was a suspect list from which we had to sniff out the murderer.

I think this year was by far the best Halloween ever!!!

Don't you?
