Halloween goes against everything we teach our kids, don’t talk to strangers. Don’t beg for stuff. Don’t take candy from strangers. We for some reason let our guard down on October 31st. Weird… how Halloween has gotten to be such a huge holiday. I remember when I was a kid I was always either a bum or a ghost, and they were always homemade costumes. My mom cut holes in an old white bed sheet for the ghost costume and I wore my grandpas hat and some of my Dads old clothes to be a bum. What happened to the good old simple days of homemade costumes? Nowadays there are stores dedicated to only Halloween to isles at the box stores all devoted to spooking it up. You are even seeing more and more homes putting up lights and decorations in their yards…in fact there are many homes that go way overboard on the macabre. One last thought on Halloween…when I was a kid and went trick or treating, my Dad always checked all the Snickers Bars, for some reason they were the only candy bar that he ever checked…I now know that Snickers were his favorite, but as a kid…I always wondered.
