Is Halloween becoming bigger than Christmas? Anyone else sick of the take-over by commercialism?
Sherman Health will hold its 23rd annual Halloween Family Fun Fair on October 17. The stores are full of Halloween items. The celebration now seems to be longer than a month. Why not on Saturday, October 31???
Whatever happened to Halloween's being just the one night you dressed up in costumes and went door-to-door in your own neighborhood with your small basket for treats?
Now kids and adults, from near and far, descend on neighborhoods and stores with large bags to collect far more candy than any one person could consume in six months. What do they really do with all of it? Just pitch it in the trash in a couple of weeks?
Is it time to restore sanity and limit any "celebration" to the one night of October 31, and to that one night only, regardless of when it falls during the week? Come on, parents. Take charge!
Is it true that some schools prohibit recognition of Halloween? No treats? No costumes? Dare not even mention the word in school?

I dont like to agree with a tool, but I have to agree with you on this one.
Yes, it's true. No more Halloween. It's the "Fall Party", and the kids can wear a "costume", but only if it is a character in a book. And you better have the book to back it up.
I agree ...
My favorite "holiday" is Thanksgiving. No pressure to buy gifts, just getting together with family or friends, eating till you're stuffed and parking it in front of the tube to watch the game. No time to savour this holiday, because the merchants are preparing for the "biggest shopping day of the year" which is the day after Thanksgiving. This is where every moron not eliminated by natural selection are out there getting caught up in the propaganda fueled, guilt driven need to buy things nobody needs, with money you don't have. Hell, my neighbors STILL have their Christmas lights up. Thankfully they took in the enormous blown up Santa and candy canes.
Personally, I love to go on peoples property and put their reindeer into sexually explicit positions. Look mommy! Rudolph is giving piggyback rides! Yee haw!
I used to love giving out candy on Halloween. Not anymore. Now all that comes to our door are older teens. Most do not even bother with a costume. Forget it!
