So I hate this holiday. Seriously.
I didn't mind it so much until 2 years ago and it's progressively getting worse.
Issues:
Trick or treaters. Do parents not teach their kids how to be respectful and have manners? Kids show up to my door, hold out their bags and Don't say a thing. Right. Like i'm gonna hand over a handful of candy without you saying anything? sheesh.
Then they get some, turn around and leave, WITHOUT SAYING THANK YOU! So I yell after them.. "YOU'RE WELCOME!"
THEN... they have guts to show up at my door AGAIN, play stupid, and expect to get more treats. um.. not gonna happen.
And then kids over the age of 12... really? You have nothing better to do with your time then go mooch off of other people and get free candy without even dressing up because its "not cool"? please. If you show up at my door not dressed up, and over the age of 12.. YOU AREN"T GETTING A DANG THING.
so... I put on a happy face, plan my son's halloween party for his school class, get my kids things to dress up in every year, take them trick or treating-teaching them manners along the way, and when they get home, they have candy they are thankful for and it's over.
Now I can get on with more pleasant things in my life...
*Off my soap box now lol*

Ha ha - Hey Amber, maybe you just should turn your porch light off and not answer the door anymore. Or even better - start giving out boxes of raisins. Obviously, your candy is too good if they keep coming back.
the raisin idea is the BEST!! I may just do that this year! I'm totally putting a bowl on the porch and not answering the door anymore.
