Trick or Treat

Alas, Halloween is over. How was your Halloween? Did you gather lots of sugary sweet treats? Did you give away a ton?

The traditional princess costume was huge this year. At least in my neighborhood. Lots and lots o princesses. Mostly pink princesses, but occasionally purple ones. Rarely, but notably, a few teal princesses too. Interesting. Well, the princess costumes were popular amongst the little girls. Mostly among the girls. As for the boys, I gave Nestle crunch bars out to a disproportionately large cross-section of cowboys. There were some spidermen and a few batmen. Smatterings of other movie icons and super heroes. I believe an iron man rang my bell. But it's truly amazing how the classics make such strong showings Halloween after endless Halloween.

There were many more trick or treaters than last Halloween. With everything else being so grim, it's no wonder people want to embrace the holidays and make the most of the fun and joy they provide. Be whatever you want to be. What a brilliant holiday Halloween really is. And of course, there's the candy. Candy is always a good thing.
