I think you just don’t remember Hallowe’en as many of us do, and don’t insert that memory into the present.
A lot of folks still enjoy it, just as I and my little friends did, back in the 1950s - even when our costumes came from the five-and-dime. It was full of wonder and fun.
Thanks to Costco, Sam’s Club and Walmart, candy is cheaper and better quality than when I was a kid.
I don’t even see that awful candy corn anymore, lots more chocolate and name brand stuff.
Not seeing many of those premade super hero suits this year, too warm.
And I was not trying to sound like I was arguing. Indeed...I share your thoughts a lot of years.
But this year was different, for us at least. And I DO thank Costco so I could afford the large bars that helped these kids have something like the memories some of us have.
Next year might be very different.
