I've been disappointed with Halloween for the past few years and I didn't even put up decorations this time. In fact, last year I put out a bowl b/c I was so fed up with kids not saying "Thank you!" when I had run to the door for them. WHY do kids buy a treat bag? My brother and I always used pillow cases. More durable for the pounds of candy we obtained. We had our plans, too! And my Dad even encouraged us to run from house to house so we (he) could get even more candy. BTW - remember when trick or treating was in the DARK? SO much better. Those days are gone. So are mine of enjoying Halloween. Great post! I would say I agree with you.
