What are your thoughts on trick-or-treating this year? Should Halloween be “canceled”, or should it be allowed to go on as normal.
I have never been a big Halloween fan. I remember loving to dress up as a kid but I don’t recall liking walking all over the place for candy. Now, as an adult I think the holiday is ridiculous because of what it has become. When my kids were little I loved to see them dressed up and I loved that they loved Halloween, but again, I was not a fan.
That being said, I think that Halloween is only about candy. Costumes have become “whatever you can pull together”, except those for little kids. All costumes are way too expensive, which is why people make their own costumes. I’m not saying homemade costumes are bad, my mom made all of mine. I’m just saying that rolling up your jeans and putting on a flannel shirt does not make one a farmer.
I think trick-or-treating would be fine, people are wearing masks anyhow!
I think kids should just stay home, though, have parents spend a ton less on candy and costumes, and spend time as a family. Play a game, bob for apples…

walk on by in your costume and say trick or treat and have your friends play corn hole into your bag and catch it if you can. No eating for a month and then one every day.. save your teeth and your wasteline.. xo

I remember my students when I was teaching being absolutely horrified that my mother went through all my candy first, supposedly to “check it”, but also to take out the things she wanted! Lol!

That’s funny, I’m sure I did some of that too. My daughter brings home so many treats from all of these occasions usually so we’re over loaded here. lol.

It seems like everything has to have candy with it. My biggest, I don’t even know what you would call it, surprise? bewilderment? was when my kids were little and we went to a parade and the people in the parade were throwing candy to the people on the streets. Isn’t the point of a parade to enjoy what you are seeing? I don’t know, maybe I’m weird, but what happened to floats or marching bands?
