Here's my intake on Halloween. It's suppose to be scary, frightening, terrifying, and fun. Scary movies all Oct.,Halloween parties, creative eye ball martini's and a time to carve pumpkins into your favourite character of the year.
But kids these days have to do everything super safe now. Over protective parents have sucked the fun out of trick or treating. I believe kids should be going door to door and get candy. Then parents sort through things at home. I understand not giving out peanuts since its such a huge allergy issue. But now kids are allergic to everything, and its makes for a shitty Halloween. Kids are going to malls, no one is trick or treating and if they are they arent out passed 9pm. Now everyone is starting to hand out dollar store toys instead of candies.
I recall going door to door for many years and out until at least midnight, the streets were filled with happy children all dressed up. What happened? When did everyone become so paranoid? What happened to you as a child that youve decided to take the fun away for all the other children? Everyone should be able to enjoy the spooky holiday as its meant to be celebrated.
Maybe i'm jealous of the fact kids are more likely to bring home a bag full of toys now,its almost like having 2 Christmas'. Id have been pretty stoked for that in my younger years. But Halloween was always about candy and Christmas was about toys and gifts.
There is one thing I'd like parents to stop doing though,on our only frightening day of the year. Please stop calling 911 about a spooky house. Teach your kid its okay, its not real, show them during the day time its fine. Dont ruin Halloween for everyone because your child is scared. Their suppose to be scared, it helps them grow as a person. If you shelter your child and show them you call the cops when their scared, what is that teaching them? Nothing, expect bothering police for a non emerg situation.
Anyways i'm done this little Halloween rant.
I hope anyone who reads this has a happy and safe Halloween and that you get the crap scared out of you.
Thanks for reading.
