Enjoy the Day

Today is celebrated in a big way all over America. Estimates are that 179 million Americans will be celebrating the day. This is record-breaking. There is also a projection that 9.1 billion dollars will be spent on Halloween regalia and candy. This is an all-time record showing that the economy is doing much better and people have more money to spend on things other than essentials.

Halloween costumes

Keep in mind not everyone that celebrates spends money buying decorations or giving out candy. They may just celebrate quietly, receive candy or go to a party with friends.

My office is celebrating by having a Halloween luncheon. Customers and clients that come in can win a sipper bottle by liking our Facebook page. I'm pretty sure they will give them all away. Some people in the office will dress up in costumes and totally get into the spirit. Regardless it will be fun for all.

Stop by Century 21 Platinum Properties at 2130 Wilma Rudolph Blvd. in Clarksville, TN for a treat.

Happy Halloween Everyone

I don't personally celebrate it any more. Been dishing out candies for more than 50 years, so I think I've done my part... Certainly don't miss taking the little ones out on a cold, and rainy night.... My house will be dark tonight...

We used to have over 100 kids come by. Now we are lucky to see 20 or so. Aging neighborhood or less interest? I wonder...

Hi Debbie... as a former executive of the Mars Corporation, of course I'm part of the $9+ billion spending at Halloween (for candy, in any event... the other stuff not so much).

Wow! 9.1 Billion. That's a lot of candy and costumes. I'd rather save this money on Downpayment.

Debbie a ton of kids will be knocking on my door tonight, so all my Halloween spending was on making sure I have plenty of candy for all the little and not so little goblins.

Hi Debbie Reynolds

I am not spending any money on candy or costumes or parties. We don't get kids in our neighborhood. Never have... I bought candy the first year and didn't hand out one piece!

Next year I hope to go out with my grandson and enjoy the holiday. Have a Happy Halloween!

Oh, you bet! We're minding the door for the adorable trick-or-treaters and having a blast chatting with the parents too! And, of course, I have TONS of candy and giving it away by the handfuls! (I want NONE leftover!!)

Hope you had a great time at your office today, Debbie! Happy Halloween!
