I like the traditional old decor of pumpkins and hokey ghosts and stuff made by kids, and the crunching of leaves on the sidewalk and the autumn darkness. Still you're right about it being a kids' holiday, and I love just going out and seeing all the kids trick-or-treating.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967821142796562697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-76588903135505581182016-10-21T23:29:13.653-06:002016-10-21T23:29:13.653-06:00Every night for a month might be a bit much, but i...Every night for a month might be a bit much, but it wouldn't bother me if it were in my neighborhood. Gotta cut people slack for some holiday cheer.

But with delayed adolescents and parents who want to be best friends with their children instead of parenting, we've now got an entire generation of people who never want to grow up and who adopt children's holidays because they're children in old people's bodies. So yeah, I blame Peter-Pan syndrome for these over-the-top cries for attention (that's all this is).Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-87983758469231028722016-10-21T18:13:09.124-06:002016-10-21T18:13:09.124-06:00This reminds me of going to see a block where ever...This reminds me of going to see a block where everyone went crazy with Christmas lights. We had a similar discussion while perusing the displays.
