When we lived in Simi Valley, CA, mini-vans would come to our subdivision, kids would pour out as if it were a clown car, and the hooligans would race up and down the streets, greedily grabbing stuff from every house. They’d get back in the van and move on — to another subdivision, I assume.

We don’t participate. If at home, our lights are off and the house is relatively quiet. Sometimes we help with a kids’ program at church.

Adding insult to injury, besides the Satan-centered actual Halloween “celebration”, sometimes the little freaks are collecting money for commie UNICEF. It’s a creepy, creepy time of the year.

Just how many kids gave up a bag of candy for that UNICEF crap? I never meant any. I thought those old commercials were satire.

Has anyone ever had any young left wing goons come to your door and yell "TRICK OR TREAT FOR UNICEF"? Now that would be scary.

To quell the outliers on our street ... my neighbor comes down and we sit on the front steps with the BIG Black Lab between us, handing out candy .... surprised how many don't even come up the walkway when they see the black dog......the neighborhood kids all *know* the dog and come to hug him.

Great fun to see all the kids and parents....soon, winter will be here and we'll all be hunkered down, inside....not to see our neighbors again until ice out.
