browncoat2x2Well, that was about the suckiest turnout for Halloween we've had at the house.
:o(
Usually we get around 150 kids or so, and this year we decided to be extra generous, so we bought 300 treats and handed out two at a time. We have TONS of candy and chocolate left over. We probably only had about 60 kids or so. It was over by 8 o'clock.
Hallowe'en has always been one of my most favouritest days (and yes, I wrote that that way on purpose) but it's dying.
Christmas is killing Hallowe'en. Or, more specifically, departement stores putting out their Christmas crap BEFORE Hallowe'en are killing it. I hate that. HATE HATE HATE that.
Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas. I love decorations and giving and getting gifts, and decorating the tree and all that. But I want HALLOWE'EN!
When I was little, the streets were CRAWLING with kids - and this is not just me looking back through rose coloured glasses here - you literally could not look up and down a street without seeing a dozen different gangs of kids going door to door.
Our street was deserted.
Despite having all this candy left over to snack on, I am very sad.

Although, considering the number of shootings and abductions that happened in the GTA on Halloween night, I'm starting to not be surprised....
