Don't encourage 'em to read about it and get creative, it's bad enough as it is .....  |
Oh, now store-wise, it's long been Christmas here (early last month). I think Halloween Candy was in stores two months ago....
I've even seen notices of church Halloween "doings" since the last day of last month (as if we would forget that it's on the 31st, I suppose ... although some cities try to make kids celebrate on some other random weekend day, by visiting malls and going store to store, in preparation for their later indoctrination in economic recovery shopping).
So, it isn't me encouraging them, to be sure.
