I have never let my children "celebrate" Halloween, and I have no intention of encouraging others to do so. No lollies at my house ready for other folks' spoiled brats to demand. I know of children knocking on doors with eggs in hand ready to wreak havoc on your front door & windows if you don't satisfy their greedy demands, this with laughing parents in tow!
Insane if you ask me. It is a tradition/celebration that has absolutely no meaning in this country.
I like this story I read the other day -
Today for Halloween, I had to pass out candy to the little kids. When I looked to my neighbor's yard, he just left a bucket full of candy with a sign saying "Please take two" and there was a garbage can right next to it. I saw a little kid laugh and try to take a handful, until my neighbor popped out of the trash can in a mask yelling " I SAID TAKE TWO!" The kid ran away crying. This happened about 18 more times...:-)
