Not missing much anymore batts.
The US media has basically scared the living crap out of every parent with a bunch of myths and downright lies. Well scared them just enough to say fuck the kids and hijack the damn holiday for themselves and make the kiddies stay home.
It used to be my favorite holiday. I liked going out of the way to have the best treats for the kids and putting up themes for them etc. Now I am lucky to get 10 kids at my door. Really sad since some of my most fond memories were about this holiday.
Until of course the reports of pins in candy, razor blades, etc. Hospitals offering free x-rays of candy and what not. I figured it was just a way for your parents to sort the candy and take what they wanted. I never heard of anyone finding anything and little did I know they didn't want just my candy, they wanted the whole damn holiday.
Oh fucking well, I will again decorate and give the kids that do show more candy then they ever would get yet again this year. Stopped buying the small stuff couple years back. Now they all get real candy and lots of it.
