Death to Halloween
I heard this women on the radio talking about how terrible Halloween is, and how it shouldn't be celebrated. :eek: How could someone think that? Her reason was that candy is bad for you, she kept refering to candy as "poison" and that Halloween is part of the reason kids are so out of shape. I listened as she berated every caller who called in defending Halloween, no pro- halloween answer was good enough for her.
How could you even put any of the blame on Halloween? One day of gluttony, against the other 364 of well... Gluttony. Did blaming television get boring? You have to attack Halloween now? Nobody could ever kill Halloween could they? Is it even possible to end such a celebration in say, north america? Trick or Treating becoming Illegal? :o (funny thought :p )
The point is, remember how fun trick or treating used to be? Whether you were with your parents or friends, it didn't matter. The nights seemed endless with sugary possibilities, the excitement of every house holding potential mars bars... Imagine never having that?
Not like you need to be trick or treating... I've already eaten a lot of Halloween candy, I think I ate less when I used to go out trick or treating. :p I call it halloween candy because it's candy that I don't feel bad about eating. It's like write-off candy under the guise of "halloween foods" I never eat candy but when Halloween comes around... I also love giving out candy, but not everybody is as lame as me.
How could anyone think Halloween is even expendable. I mean Christmas is the celebration of one dead person, shouldn't the all encompassing celebration of the dead (and candy, right?) be held in atleast the same regard?
I'm sure nobody is opposed to Halloween here, but is anybody maybe not so fond of Trick or Treating?
