When I was a kid Halloween was a thrill. It was exciting precisely because we did not get candy all year round. This was our big chance to rack up.Seriously I like celebrating Christmas, Easter, I don't know about valentine because I'm single. I can eat candy during Halloween but I can never celebrate it. What does it mean to celebrate the death? They are death and are either in heaven or hell. No need to celebrate them. However we can hold on to the memories we had with them.
Halloween has lost its edge because these days kids can get their own candy. Why should they care about even more candy on one day a year?
