Hey there, Fit Fam!

Growing up in the South, where churches and organized religion are as common as McDonald’s on every street corner, Halloween wasn’t something my family even considered. My dad served as the minister of music for several churches, so it just wasn’t on our radar.

Instead of traditional trick-or-treating, I celebrated “Hallelujah Night” at church, where we’d dress up as Bible characters. And as mischievous kids, we couldn’t resist pranking the young trick-or-treaters who knocked on our door. My brother and I would jump out from the bushes, giving them a good scare. Looking back, it sounds a bit bad, but it was all in good fun, and the parents always had a hearty laugh.
