Say what you will about Halloween. You can say that it was a scheme from the candy companies, or that it is the devil’s day. But, I doubt you can say you didn’t have fun with it when you were a kid. Every October, almost everyone got ready for the big night. The decorations were out and the costumes were picked.
The feeling of Halloween carried in the air. The Fall days carried the fun chill.
I can’t imagine anyone has seen a Halloween set up like they used to seven or ten years ago. Now, what is October? It’s the beginning of the Christmas Season! Bah Humbug! I like Christmas but I preferred when it started the minute we saw Santa Claus at the end of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The mall windows that used to have Halloween dioramas now show a snow covered, gift giving scene.
Where is the fun in that?
Do the kids of today a favor. Celebrate Halloween! As fun as it was when you were a kid, you won’t miss it if you give it your all with making it fun for today’s kids!
Know what? Go trick or treating no matter how old you are, if even just for a few houses!
