I hope that everyone is having a fun Halloween night. However, I hope that your fun is being had in an appropriate way. I don't mean no drugs or alcohol (well also that), but in particular trick-or-treating. I have nothing wrong with celebrating Halloween. It can be very fun, even as just a secular celebration. But just as Christmas means different things as we get older so does Halloween. Going door to door asking for candy is for children. After you are out of middle school, it is time to move on to something else. If you continue to trick-or-treat, you are literally taking candy from babies . Here's what I think you should do: Invite some friends over. Order a pizza. Watch a Halloween movie (funny or scary, your choice). Hand out candy to children (enabling them to have a good Halloween). Fun changes as we age. PS: Stay away from Ouija boards. Either it's a stupid game or you actually believe that you are communing with spirits. Don't mess around.
Blog started at my students' urging. Many different things will be talked about here.
