Someone Smashed My Daughter's Pumpkin Last Night, So I Did Some Surgery After She Left For School. Frankenpumpkin Lives
Power puff scientist 2 years ago

Undoubtedly, the most beloved aspect of Halloween is the glorious amount of candy consumed in a single evening. Not much could ruin it. Maybe except holistic Holly who thinks that her mission is to provide healthy alternatives to the pounds of candy children will be eating that night. Seaweed snacks, organic brown rice “treats” and raisins in a child’s trick-or-treat bucket can seriously earn you a spot on the blacklist of houses to avoid on Halloween.
Similarly, getting hard grandma candies or lollipops in clear wrappers can also be a bit of a letdown. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Twix, and M&M’s can significantly enhance your reputation as a neighbor amongst the kids. So it’s entirely up to you whether you ruin Halloween spirits with your mediocre treats or bring joy with quality chocolate candies.

Handing out lollies might be from the American side of things, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to celebrate the holiday here.
Scotira 2 years ago
In Switzerland one usually does not celebrate Halloween. That said stores have been jumping on the Halloween wagon with sweets and deco stuff. In schools they tell the children to only go to houses that have a candle lit and not to bother the other houses. I think this is a good compromise. I don't light a candle and we don't celebrate it, but my neighbours know me well... I usually decorate in our back (not seen from the street) for our neighbours kids. 😇😅

Dear Jerk
When you have a pile of sweets in your possession, the world feels right again. It was definitely not cool when your parents made you hand over your stash, preventing you from binging on it in one sitting or sharing your treasure with siblings who were too young to go trick-or-treating. Looking back, it was probably for the best that you avoided a sugar-induced coma and had to give away the least tasty candies to your sibling.

Trunk-or-treat as a trick-or-treat alternative is quite unique, to say the least. This Halloween celebration takes place in a parking lot, where automobile trunks are filled with candy and children go from car to car, collecting sweet treats. Trunk-or-treat removes the joy of kids independently strolling around the neighborhood with their friends at night, shouting “trick or treat”, and feeling excited because they never know what costumes or decorations they’ll see or when they’ll hit the jackpot of full-sized candy bars. It’s best to skip trunk-or-treat if you appreciate the nostalgia and charm of good old Halloween.

Replacing Halloween with JesusWeen or banning these celebrations in schools also detracts from the festive spirit. Today Halloween is considered a holiday for dress-up and fun, especially for children. The religious connotation of Halloween is long gone and we should lighten up, show our creative ideas, and indulge in some candy!

I dunno. I think if Jesus were living in the American 'burbs today, he'd probably pass out candy on Halloween just for the chance to meet the children and their parents... to set the stage for future events. I wasn't around back then, but in hindsight, he seems more of a wise honey-over-vinegar sort of guy. He boldly went into the tabernacles with the gambling and women and all. People like this cherry pick from the Bible instead of attempting to get a full picture of just what it is they are touting.

Wrecked holidays don’t bring joy to anyone, so why do people attempt to spoil festivities for others? Some lack empathy and fail to appreciate the significance of bringing happiness to others. Additionally, people might compare themselves to others and feel lacking, which distracts them from enjoying the present. It is also possible that such individuals can feel insecure when the attention isn’t solely on them. All these reasons can lead people to feel bad about themselves and ruin your beloved holidays.

- Enjoy a scary movie marathon or carve a pumpkin, preferably while doing both at the same time!
- Decorate your house with spooky lights, cobwebs, ghosts, bats, or any other haunting decorations you find fitting.
- Spend some time this eerie season in the kitchen cooking up some Halloween-themed treats.

What happened to simply turning off your porch light and not participating?

Wearing wool does not hurt sheep. Most breeds need to be shorn or they can end up flyblown and unable to move, leading to a slow death from starvation
Jaya 2 years ago
You are so very mistaken. You could do theoretically do it in a way that doesn't hurt the sheep, but the regular wool industry can be absolutely horrible to sheep. Often sheep get shorn when the wool makes the most money, not when it's the right moment for the sheep. They often get shorn at ridiculous speeds to save money, even if that means injuries for the sheep, it's just simply cheaper to replace sheep that die or get seriously hurt, than to spend more money on labour by having them shorn at a normal pace. There have been many videos where animal abuse during shearing is exposed with secret cameras.

If you cook veggies right, kids will eat them. If you steam the c**p out of them, skip the salt, olive oil and garlic, obviously they won't eat them, and putting them in candy wrapper will work one day a year. Cooking them well will work the other 364 days.

Tamra may I ask if you believe all Trump supporters are twats? I'm a Trump supporter do you believe that makes me a twat; if you do that's absolutely fine, you're entitled to your views & opinions. However aside from knowing who I'm voting for what can you tell me about my views? The company I keep, the type of family I came from, my beliefs about gay rights, immigration, and so on? I could be wrong but your use of the word 'twat' makes me believe that you're not an American citizen by birth, although it's entirely possible you've moved stateside & became a citizen. In the event you're not American & don't live stateside why do you have such a strong opinion on US elections?
Zaphod 2 years ago
It's pretty obvious that anyone that would vote for someone like trump doesn't care about humanity at all. And even if you say you do the mere fact that you'd vote for someone as deplorable and despicable as him says you either don't know or don't care about the harm he causes. Either is scary and ignorance of the harm is just careless.

We use the porch light where I am. If it's on, come on up. If it's off, pass on by.

My dad was also the “Halloween is for Satan” while I was growing up. I couldn’t go trick-or-treating, but I was a child passing out all the candy… At least he got us pizza while we watched tv! But I now hate Halloween because of that… What kid wants to hand out the candy!?

Three things that kept reoccurring: 1) Stolen/damaged decorations, 2) stupid-a$s religious tracts, 3) anti-vaxx propaganda. OK, squirrels and moose are just being the beasties that they are; but humans have no business ruining other people's holiday, especially not for children.

I had 10 minutes to make a costume, so I got some $30 Mambo sunglasses and a black fleece jacket with. zip-up collar that hardly fits me anymore, and I got a Nerf gun, so I went as the Terminator, and went around the block with a couple Naruto characters and an unemployed Grim Reaper. The spoils were bountiful, my second Halloween was a success :D

Unemployed grim reaper? I'm trying very hard to picture that.

We attended a trunk or treat that had two women offering tricks or treats. The kid in front of us chose trick. They gave him hand sanitizer. Such a crappy thing to do to kids.

Well, aside from the vandalism, if you hate on that much what's in your basket buy your kids' their own candy and get over it. Candy is expensive and there's what, at least 7-8 Trunk or Treats throughout October so should be enough without even going door to door. Be happy for the most part.
