Report: Gen-X parents used to wear costumes over snowsuits!
"Atlantic Canada — A new report today revealed that 'Gen-X' Atlantic Canadians are making astonishing and implausible claims about past Halloweens in the region.
"Social media is ablaze with reports from East Coasters born between 1964 and 1984, claiming that Halloween used to be so snowy and cold that they had to wear their costumes over their snowsuits every year.
“'Seriously, I looked like a fairy princess sumo wrestler,' claimed Jennifer MacDonald of Truro. 'It was so hard to hang onto our pillowcases wearing our mittens too. We didn’t have fancy bags like kids have today or parents to carry our loot. My parents would smack me with a pillowcase of candy if I asked them to carry it for me!'"
read the rest, it's hilarious!
