I don’t like celebrating Halloween, as you all know. The whole day freaks me out, especially since it has gotten so popular. I just feel like our society is thumbing its collective nose at God.
But I still hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters, so I’m ready. I don’t think I got nearly as many here as in New Auburn in the past. Others have said they don’t get many in town here. So I took my $8.88 bag of candy and divided it up into portions that I think are enough, but not too much. It was very scientific: one large, one medium and two small. Anyway, I have enough for about 36 kids, and then I turn off the lights and retire to the back living room!
Then tomorrow I get up and it is November and Halloween is over for another year!
Did you have a lot of kids this year?
More than before. I think it was in the 30’s last time we lived in Chetek. But it was closer to the 70’s this year, I would guess. Not that we had candy for all of them, but if you count the ones that came when the light was out because we were out of candy (until Dad got more), I think it was about that many.
