I hate Hallmark holidays. And kids. Ergo, I hate Halloween.
How can anyone condone a "festival" where children have the right to demand candy (as if they're not fat and diabetic and lazy enough already) from total strangers and can deface you and/or your home if you foolishly choose "trick" over "treat?" If I had my way these kids would all be brought in front of our good old Father Boris D'Santos for some much-needed correctional treatment of the wristier variety. But God forbid parents here do anything to upset their kids and "emotionally scar them for life."
And what does Halloween offer adults? A unique opportunity to dress up, go out and look & act even more stupid than they usually do. Honestly, I didn't think that was possible, but somehow they manage to pull it off.
Festivals in the US mean two things and two things only - shopping and alcohol - and the only thing that varies is the ratio of importance between the two.
