This is the night of ghosts and ghouls, when spirits can walk the earth, the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest of any time of the year. I enjoyed it, this is the first in at least 5 years that I bought candy and stayed home to dole it out to the little ones. So many cute costumes and I was surprised how many were so polite with pleases and thank you's. It is nice to see the innocence of this night again. It has basically become whore'o'ween, with every girl dressing up in slutty versions of ---insert storybook character, profession, inanimate object here--. I certainly was rusty though. All my years in customer service have trained me that when people thank me I thank them right back. There is nothing like the confused face of a three year old when they thank me in those cute little voices and I say "no, thank you." I remember how fun Halloween was when I was a kid, dressing up (when the point was to be scary not some perverts fapping material), weighing my bag as the night went on, listening to the other kids about the the houses with the best candy, and going home to watch a movie that was scary to a small child. As I have gotten older, Halloween has lost its luster, it has become one more night to go and drink too much. That's why I have Cinco de Mayo. My favorite holiday is now Thanksgiving, my house becomes a bounty of fall colors, cornucopias, food, friends and family. But, giving candy tonight has reminded me of its magic, the smiles on the little faces were wonderful. So I wish all of you a safe and happy Halloween!
