Does anyone buy extra candy of their favorite type then eat it with the excuse that it wasn't given away at Halloween? I do!

I wonder who came up with the concept to disguise their children and send them out at night to beg for candy.

I thought I just ate it all plus whatever the kids brought home angel I think Halloween is a ploy to make adults have an excuse to consume large amounts of candy. I wonder who came up with the concept to disguise their children and send them out at night to beg for candy. Well, you asked. Immigrants flooded America in the second half of the 1800s, especially Irish immigrants fleeing their country’s potato famine who popularized Halloween nationally. Taking from both Irish and English traditions, Americans began to dress up in costumes and go from door-to-door asking for food or money, a practice now known as trick-or-treating. At this time, young women believed they could prophesize their future husband’s appearance by doing tricks with yarn and mirrors. By the late 1800s, Americans tried to mold Halloween into a holiday more about community than about ghosts, pranks and witchcraft, making parties for adults and children the norm. As a result, the holiday lost most of its superstitious and religious ties. By the 1920s and 30s, Halloween had become completely community-centered with parades and parties for the whole town. Vandalism also began to disrupt Halloween celebrations. That trend slowed in the 1950s and the holiday began to focus on the young due to the baby boom of the time. Trick-or-treating was revived as a way for the community to celebrate and a new American tradition was born.

Halloween is simply the one day that you're supposed to share your candy... generally I'm all out by then.
