Halloween at the Mall

Early this afternoon, when I visited the Bridgewater Commons Mall, it was overflowing with young people ranging from tiny ones in strollers, small munchkins walking about in their Halloween costumes, and teenagers taking advantage of school closings, courtesy of the treacherous snowstorm which closed down so many school buildings.

The big hit this afternoon was the bevy of tiny tots in their Halloween costumes who were old enough to walk from store to store in a safe and welcome environment, guided by their moms and dads who helped them to collect their treats, as they sauntered from one place to the other.

One of the best spots was the Lego storefront which had a lady dressed in princess regalia standing at the entrance to the store, ready to greet the trick-or-treaters.

Beats having the wicked witch of the west coming after you!
