You ask: "Do I or have I ever worn masks on Halloween?"
Answer below--
The history of masks are more than likely as far back as the Stone Age. Uses are more than Halloween of course, like the role of the social user, or religious uses, burial uses, ones used to commerate the dead family members worn by others, even theraputic uses. Masks are used in festivities like the Mardi Gras, or in theatrical uses. As you can see, they're not only in use during Halloween.
Of course, when I get ready to great the kids, I usually (I say usually, 'cause at times I have worn masks) just have myself made up. Much more fun. And kids love it!!
Here's an example. "Come on in!! Sit a spell!!" --- Y'all come back now, 'hear?"
(Me many october moons back!! Ready for Halloween and Trick or Treaters, a toothless hillbilly)

Howdy, Hillbilly! I see you really enjoy the holiday very much! Living in such a remote place, there isn't a lot of activity here on Halloween so I especially enjoy yours. *s*
I just sit on our porch swing and hand out candy. I am afraid to do much "dressing up" because there are so many young kids and I might scare them a little and I would not want to do that. They are so cute and having so much fun. I just hate it though when the BIG ones come and mess it all up!! I wish there were Halloween Police sometimes especially here in Savannah...Ruins everything for the little ones...Sandy
You are SO cute! Just a big ol' kid yourself! Y'know... if we got ANY kids at our house I would still get into all this... but we never get even ONE! Our neighborhood is just too small and too spread out for them to waste their time on...*sigh* I'm glad you get kids! You would lose your mind in my neck o' the woods!
How sad! I loved Freddie Fender's music & he will be much missed!
is it a good thing or a bad thing to tell you that you make a really good hillbilly? ;)
Well hot diggidy dog - If that picture (pronounced pitcher) don't beat the band! Miss Jo-Bob-Wystful, ain't you the dainty one!
Love them teeth too!
