Free candy is the best.Rubbishy rubbish. Anyone can celebrate in this manner. It harms no-one. And I for one love to dress up.
Halloween will always be a Pagan holiday.Halloween is apparently a Christian festival, though they likely pinched it from the Pagans, like everything else.
Hmmm. Seems we have a 21 year old trick or treater here.*shrug* up to you.
Who?Will Trump ban Halloween? I hope so.
Possibly true.If the costume is super creative, you might not be able to tell someone's age, and they could be 75 years old...trick or treating.
"Were I queen of the world, Halloween would be a holiday for children and children only. Childless adults would no longer be allowed to tarnish their dignity and steal kids’ thunder by donning Superman, cat, and sexy Ken Bone costumes in late October. No one who’s graduated from middle school would ever feel any peer pressure to make or buy a get-up that’s cleverer, creative, intricate, or risqué than everyone else’s get-up. Adults would wear street clothes on Halloween, and all would be right with the world.
Here’s what I can argue with a straight face: Older teenagers who go trick-or-treating are abnormal and perhaps even more harmful to the social fabric than adults who dress up. The normal age to retire from trick-or-treating is 13, tops. I know it, you know it, and the sheepish 17-year-old wearing a Trump mask and demanding candy on your front stoop knows it.
Thirteen is a good age to stop trick-or-treating for many reasons. There’s the symbolic unluckiness of 13, which seems appropriate for a holiday devoted to death and doom. There’s the fact that 13 is already a transitional age in many cultures, with rites of passage like bar and bat mitzvah marking the metamorphosis from child to adult. Most importantly, there’s the fact that 13 is the last plausible age at which a kid could sincerely get excited about dressing up and trick-or-treating. After 13, children transform into jaded, surly, rebellious jerks, as predictably as the onset of menses and the deepening of boys’ voices.
Teens who trick-or-treat, you see, aren’t motivated by the same independence-seeking and joyful self-expression that motivate younger trick-or-treaters. Teen trick-or-treaters see trick-or-treating as a sort of scam—a way of sticking it to the man by obtaining the man’s candy without having to pay the man."
