Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25028055 Destroys trust in neighborhoods. No one will let their kids out in it. It is really annoying, first no Christmas Concerts at the schools, only "Winter Concerts", then no Halloween, just "Orange and Black Day", what will be next? At least I have boxes of candies to enjoy with our family for a good year now. |

On CBC, they were quoted saying the average Canadian Family this year will spend about $330 for Hallooween, including Candy, Decorations and Costumes! |

It seems like as each year goes by, less and less children are coming to knock on the door for treats! Quoting: CrazyMama73 Yet... more young families now live in our neighbourhood... YES, now we are in a politically correct location where the children were not allowed to dress up in costume at school, because of possible inappropriate attire, so now only ORANGE and BLACK clothes are allowed on Halloween... but still, what gives? We used to go through 7-10 BIG boxes of chocolate bars, chips, candy.. and this year 1!! Have we really lost the spirit of Halloween?? Are children brought up in such big bubbles that it is feared they go out to eat some horribly bad for you, but oh so good candy? Halloween was THE BEST TIME OF YEAR, back in my day. I don't get it! Only a fucking canadian. God dammit. Peace loving motherfuckers. Here in NYC the apes are running amuck because they're bitching with nothing to do since they have no phone service or internet. Asshats. |

I understand that what is going on in those states affected by Sandy would put Halloween on the back burner. |

It was a really huge deal when I was a kid too, up to 200 one year, a constant stream coming to the door, not any more.

Every Church we passed on the way home from work ( 6 ) all had activities going on outside. Beautiful, unseasonably warm. Big yellow Moon. The youngster said angrily " If our founding Fathers could see what is going on, they would roll over in their graves!" The Ol'Timer shook his head and smiled. " No, they would be grabbing their guns". WANT CHANGE??? Quit paying your income tax. |

I am always present standing at the end of the stair case, or near the entrance, thanking the people and talking with them. Sadly my trust level went to near 0 when I was 12. But I stick with the same neighbourhood, speak with the same adults and I know I could hunt down any one of them if I had to. |

Even though it is raining here, my little man was insistent that CAPTAIN AMERICA could with stand rain and my daughter who chose to be a racoon said they are used to this weather. So out we went. All the other children that were out trick or treating were dressed appropriately or had their parents following suit with umbrellas in hand! |
