Seré la primera en admitirlo: ¡Halloween es mi fiesta favorita! Me encanta todo, desde el ambiente espeluznante y disfrazarme, hasta, lo confieso, ¡todos los dulces! Como adulta y madre, también ha sido un placer crear disfraces para mi familia y llevar a mis pequeños fantasmas a pedir dulces. Tenemos una tradición familiar: después de pedir dulces, salimos a cenar, preferiblemente a un lugar con un puesto grande, y repartimos el botín por toda la mesa. Se hacen intercambios, se roban Reeses y se decide quién se lleva el botín más grande.
