I didn't mean to spoil anyone's fun, or seem a scrooge. I only wanted to point out that maybe we can all do better. I wanted to say I feel something's wrong, today, with this holiday. Alas we say: Thanks Costco! "Amen."

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.
