Timmothy and I purchased our pumpkins last week. We have not painted faces on them but will most likely carve them on Halloween Eve. In general we keep them pretty simple. We believe that pumpkins and costumes are best when intended to be viewed by little children.

I miss the days of throngs of children would come to our door for treats. Now a days we are lucky to see one or two. We still purchase enough candy to treat 30 kids but I'm the one who usually ends up eating the candy, thus Carol buys Heath bars as they are my favorite.

I am a Christian man and when I think about Halloween I think about kids having fun and people being generous with candy. You are free to think what ever you want about Halloween.

I do not think I would do well with guess the costume these days Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 . I have no idea what cartoons kids watch these days.

Good morning, Bob... I agree with you on your thoughts about Halloween. For me it's also about Reformation Day... having attended Lutheran Schools from 1st grade through 12th grade, the day that Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on the door of All Saints Church in Wittenberg was a day we celebrated first in chapel before celebrating the candy!

Well said Nina Hollander, Broker my Love. I just came from our Men's Bible study (Tuesday's 6:45 AM to 7:45 AM) and I'm surprised the topic of Halloween never came up.

Halloween is for kids, fun and candy. I love seeing the kids at my door.

Me too Michael Elliott but the kid count over the last three years has been ZERO even though we have several young families among us.

Hi Bob- Halloween for me is about kids having fun, costumes, and lots of candy!!!! We need to give our children as much fun as they can have.

Oct 29, 2024 07:02 PM

I agree Kathy Streib . Kids are growing up with far more stress then we did so Halloween is a well deserved break for them.

We used to cater to the kids, then when the pandemic hit we stopped it and interestingly few showed up anyway. Now I deliver to about six different homes, and I will be doing that in the daytime before the Gouls come out, Endre

Endre Barath, Jr. I really like the idea of taking treats to others. Hopefully you don't get "egged" on the way. I don't know if kids do that anymore with the price of eggs.

Halloween has really snuck up on me this year. In fact, I need to go purchase some treats.
