I remember years ago when you would hear folks get up in arms over such a pagan or evil holiday. Is that still a thing or have folks moved on?

Kirby Posted October 31, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 31, 2018 My town is all in on Halloween, although I've never had anyone come to my door in the years I've lived there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted October 31, 2018 Share #5 Posted October 31, 2018 Our town is in. There are a lot more “trunk-or-treat” and mall events than in the past so you don’t see the kids in the neighborhood as much. The schools have had to stop their Halloween parties because of some church groups. Yet many churches are the sponsors of trunk or treat events.

Square Wheels Posted October 31, 2018 Share #10 Posted October 31, 2018 Nope, we often just shut the lights off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted October 31, 2018 Share #11 Posted October 31, 2018 It's a big deal in my city. I live towards the back of my development so kids don't come back that Far as its kind of a maze if you don't know the layout. The front of our development abuts a large housing track so the front row gets hit hard with kids. There is a guy who decorates his yard every Halloween and does a bang up job. If we go there tonight I'll post some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted October 31, 2018 Share #12 Posted October 31, 2018 In the '70's, playing ICCF International postal chess, I told one foreign opponent about Halloween and he was shocked that such a thing took place in the USA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My school held a costume contest at lunch. Womaxx's high school saw most of the staff in costume but this years students mostly didn't bother. It seems that this rendition of the student body was somewhat uninterested. Womaxx worked today dressed as a pumpkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Zacharia Posted November 1, 2018 Share #17 Posted November 1, 2018 My town has a Halloween parade the weekend before, which is good for the really little kids. Then trick-or-treat is on Halloween itself. It rained last night, so we only had about a dozen kids come to the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
