DIY Pull String Halloween Ghost Piñata
As children, I have fond memories of going trick-or-treating with my mom’s two sisters and their kids – a total of nine of us. We’d make our way from house to house, collecting an array of delicious candies. The experience was truly delightful. What made it even more special was when our aunts would visit. They’d bring individual bags of candy for each of the kids, which meant we’d receive not one or two fun-sized treats, but rather a couple of bigger, more substantial candy bars.
This thoughtful gesture made us feel truly valued and appreciated – as if we were the only ones receiving such a special treat.
