Re: Unpopular Holiday Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

When I was a kid in thge 80s, Halloween was just about kids dressing up and going trick-or-treating. Decorating for Halloween beyond a jack-o-lantern was considered kind of nifty but also kind of extreme and there wasn't so much Halloween STUFF in stores.

I was in Australia over one Halloween in the early 90s and was told some people had parties for it, but trick-or-treating was not the done thing. I thought that was terrible because OMG CANDY.

I don't like Halloween much anymore, partly because I still see it as a kid's holiday, partly because all the crap in stores still feels so new and unnecessary, and partly because even the trick-or-treating is done strangely now. When I was a kid, we went out on Halloween night after dark, albeit with parental escort (that trick-or-treating scene in E.T. where it's still light out always looked so odd to me), and we'd hit every house with a porch light on. Now, in my neighborhood, trick-or-treating is scheduled for the Saturday before Halloween (only on Halloween if if falls on a Saturday) between the hours of 5:00 and 8:00 pm. Leaving my porch light on isn't enough. I'll hear families go right past my door if I don't at least have a carved pumpkin and even that isn't always enough. It seems like a lot of parents only bring their kids to houses of people they know, which I guess is a good way to limit the candy, but it feels kind of unneighborly. I was a kid during the whole "Someone might have put a needle in this candy!" scare and only now do people decide to get all weird about trick-or-treating? I usuaslly don't bother handing out candy. I just go out somewhere or go to bed early.
