We don't have many kids in our small little cul-de-sac. When we first moved in we had quite a few trick or treaters, but that was 28 years ago. Over the years the number of kids has dwindled steadily. This year I never saw any kids at all.
If I had young kids these days, I would just take them to parties and perhaps a couple of neighbors. People are just to weird these days. Could you imagine someone taking offense at your kids costume? I certainly can.
Even though I loved it as a kid, that was a completely different time ~ where you didn't worry about going in someone's house you don't know to have brownies and milk. Home made cookies and popcorn balls. Oh, sure, lots of regular candy! But we had some ladies who made treats in their own kitchen for the kids, and we loved it. There were tons of kids too ~ running around, masks forgotten in the thrill of all those sweets. My sister and I would sit and trade candy with each other, and generously give our parents the stuff we didn't like, haha. I know I sound like an old fuddy duddy ~ but that's probably what I am anyway :-)
Personally I could care less, I just want them to stop it. Seriously, just stop. I don't care if we keep DST or go back to standard time. I JUST DON'T CARE. Of course, that's easy for me to say, I'm no longer working. But I do feel for those that are. I remember how excruciating it was in the spring to lose that hour.
Just another example of how inefficient our government is. I'm sure the reason we still have it, is due to money. Somehow, money is more important than......well, many believe it's more important than anything else. Ugh, sorry that I brought that up, because it's so infuriating.
Here's an interesting article on where each state stands on the issue.
Have a great weekend, and enjoy the return of that hour we lost in the spring!
Love 365
