Other than April 15, the chief democrat holiday is October 31, where massive hoards with a feeling of entitlement wander from door to door demanding goodies and threatening malicious acts if they are not satisfied.

I used to like Halloween - a “holiday” that was pure fun.

Back when I was a kid, we made our own costumes, so there was a lot of planning and creativity involved. We’d start a couple of weeks in advance collecting the materials we’d need - old sheets, cardboard boxes, the right stick for a hobo’s bindle, old clothes, etc. About the only thing we’d buy was facepaint. Our parents were rarely involved in the creation of costumes. Older kids would help the younger ones.

Now, kids who make their costumes are laughed at. Everyone needs an elaborate store-bought costume.

I know I sound like an old fogey, but I am one!

When the kids come to my door shouting "trick or treat," I always ask them what trick would they do if I didn't treat them. That usually stops them, because they've never thought of doing some kind of trick. I treat them anyway.
