I am Skipping Halloween This Year

I like Halloween, to me it's like another Mardi Gras day!

I am not a fan of opening the door and giving out candy.

Trick-or-treating is totally different in California. Not many people let their children go door-to-door in the neighborhood.

One way of trick-or-treating in California is that Church Members will decorate their cars and then fill up the Church parking lot. The children in costumes will then go from car-to-car trick-or-treating.

Another way is to take your kids to the mall. The stores usually have someone at the front entrance giving out candy to the kiddies.

Unfortunately, Halloween is also a time when the crazies come out and rain terror on the happy-go-lucky. It is true that razors, pins and needles have been found in apples and other treats given to kids. It is said that 1987 was the craziest year with lots of reports in New York and New Jersey.

Interesting enough, the Humane Society for Animals, has a ban on black cats in most states during the month of October. You can not adopt a black cat for fear it will be tortured and/or used in a satanic ritual. After Halloween you can get all the black kiddies you like.

The picture is of a white pumpkin. I first discovered white pumpkins in California about 20 years ago. I was extremely excited when I found a little one here in Pennsylvania!
