Modern Day Halloween
What ever happened to Halloween? When I was a kid, Halloween ranked right up there as the #2 all time coolest holiday, seconded only by Christmas, and just slightly better than the 4th of July. (Easter ran as distant fourth - hard boiled eggs and church, yuck!) These day, even in sleepy little communities like the one I live in, I rarely get any trick or treaters. Was the whole Halloween thing ruined by paranoid baby boomers and the 80’s urban legend of razor blade laced Apples? I wonder if there are still communities out there where kids dress up, walk around all night collecting candy having a good time? If there are, and I have kids, I’ll move there. In the mean time, I’ll have to be happy with all my leftover candy. No complaints there. Boo!
