Trick Or Treat

Story

Imagine it’s Halloween night. You have your costume on; the feeling of anticipation builds up inside you as you get ready to leave your house. The excitement of roaming door to door with your bucket ready to be filled with candy from neighbors from houses decked out with spooky decor is almost tangible. The night is young, and you have no worries in the world. 

This is what I remember most about Halloween, and it makes me so nostalgic. Those years of imagination, excitement, and adventure are some of the best memories I have. The thrill of dressing up as someone, or something, else and exploring the neighborhood created such a memorable night, and it didn’t matter if there was school the next day - it was Halloween, and all that mattered was the fun we had. 

One of the best parts about Halloween is that there’s an excuse to use your imagination and creativity to become whoever or whatever you want. You can escape reality and have fun adopting a new persona that lets you transform for the night. Although we may have grown up, I feel like my inner kid thrives during Halloween and makes me want to “trick or treat” the whole month of October. I hope that this Strap gives you the same feeling of nostalgia as we approach the spooktacular day that is Halloween. Be whoever you want to be!
