HALLOWEEN, JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Tuesday, October 23, 2007

Halloween is just around the corner and I wish it was around the world from here. I don’t like Halloween at all! Sure, I used to when I was the one getting the candy. I still get some of the candy and now that’s another thing I don’t like about it. We give out a lot of candy, have a lot left over—and I eat it!

I used to staunchly defend Halloween. In fact, years ago when I was working with a church in California I made a grown man cry over my views. He was the school administrator at our church school and he wanted me to back him in not allowing the school to have a Halloween party. I refused! He cried!

Now I’m old, tired, my kids are all grown up; I don’t have any grand-kids and I want the Halloween crowd to just leave me alone—especially the teenagers. Will they? NO! But I feel better just dreaming about it.
