I love Halloween. I love to get dressed up- this year I'm a mad scientist! I love seeing other people get dressed up. I like the spooky decorations and the fall leaves and trick-or-treaters and anything else you can think of. Oh! Pumpkin carving, I love carving pumpkins (hint, hint honey) So what could I possibly be boycotting about this time of year. Some of you know. For those that don't please read on.
Trunk-or-treat! What a load of hooey. There are so many things wrong with this.
#1- You can't change a decades old tradition, that's very party-pooper of you.
#2- I have a house of my own for the first time ever, and I want trick-or-treaters. I love seeing the cute little kids in all their costumes. If I had kids of my own I'd want to parade them around and show off how cute they are. And I'd like them to experience one of my favorite childhood holiday traditions.
#3- This is from Bob, and I wholeheartedly agree. You are just making your kids fatter. Yes, the take is usually bigger for trunk-or-treats which kids love. But they are going to eat all that candy and they aren't walking/running around the neighborhood to collect it. As far as I'm concerned trunk-or-treat is the leading cause of childhood obesity in America (at least for the month of October)
#4- It seems that trunk-or-treats occur more frequently in lower income neighborhoods. Perhaps these people think its unsafe to send their kids out. Go with them! You have to be with them at trunk-or-treat anyway, or is it just that you don't want to walk/run around with your kids. So maybe trunk-or-treat is the leading cause of all obesity in America regardless of age.
Please, please, please send your kids out for Halloween. They will have fun, you will have fun. And I will be a happier person.
That is all I have to say. Keep an eye out for my official boycott petition in the mail.
Let me know what you think. Trunk-or-treat, or Trick-or-treat?

Sad that no one else commented. Perhaps they are feeling guilty? . . . xoxo
You are too funny, Oh man I want to send this off because it's such a hoot. I am not sure about the obesity rate but it does suck. I am with you on this one.

This is momentous. I have more than a comment from my mom. I must celebrate!
In case you ever check back on your previous postings, you will notice this new comment. So are you saying I am your most staunch supporter? xoxo
