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!  Hey, nice to bump into you here again! wait...we are supposed to hand out candy to others? 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. Silly Americans I just got that when I researched about your question. You can read the whole article here, if you like: http://www.history-of-halloween.net/ There's usually some interesting documentaries about Halloween that pop up on TV in October(usually on History Channel) |

Were not supposed to talk to strangers but one day a year we are allowed to accept candy from them. The concept is just wrong.

I remember one year when I used to live in a college town, I had a bunch of 18-22 year olds knocking on my door as my house was between two keggers.
Added a whole new meaning to "Want some candy?"

Pagan holidays breed rampant greed and commercialism. Like Christmas! .... oh wait... Yep, Christmas too, based truly on the Roman pagan celebration of Winter Solstice, not the birth of Christ, that is why I refuse to have a Christmas tree in my house, and why on Halloween, I am never home, and will not buy nor hand out candy. Holidays have been so grossly distorted these days. |

At least he's honest about it, rather then the Christians who prance around screaming "Jesus is the reason for the Season" when he's not. Mithra, Sol Invictus, and the Yule are the reason for the season! |
