The Fall Of Halloween

Anyone else noticed that Halloween is not that big now anymore? That's a shame because I love Halloween, but I think compared to Christmas which is quite nearby Halloween is almost overlooked.

*Sigh*

Voice Your thoughts!

Ehhhh I used to do halloween....than, due to personal beliefs I quit all holidays for one reason or another. I'm hardly "christian/catholic" so that's not why i don't do halloween, or any past trauma. I don't celebrate any holiday...I guess my birthday or my girlfriends...or other peoples...if that counts..probably not..

In my adult life I have never been that much into it but I bet for kids it's still exciting to dress up and stuff.

Halloween is retarded.

This might be my first year not trick-or-treating ;_;

It's really neat 'cause we always get the last of everyone's candy because all of the kids are gone when it's late.

Halloween and Christmas are my favorite holidays! October through December is my favorite time of year!

Maybe I'll have more opportunities to dress up and do things for Halloween once I move to California.

Christmas merchandise is already sneaking in.

It's still a big deal, you're just an old fart now.


Welcome to the club!

Well when you're little you're all excited and you want candy and you dress like this.

But when your older it has turned not into candy and scary things but who can look like the biggest whore. But it's ok! Everyone is looking like a whore! The one holiday you can dress skanky and get away with it.

I guess you're just not into the skanky dressing and partying so then yeah, it wouldn't be as fun. :P

Damn straight! I love my halter-top Halloweens. No one looks at me funny.

I can't figure out just what the smurf is with that flamingo.

There's a scene in Alice in Wonderland in which Alice and the Queen of Hearts play a game using flamingos.

I would have never guessed that's what the costume was from.

If anything, Halloween is an even bigger deal now than any prior point in my life. UCSB Halloweens are insane. :D

Halloween is awesome. But it is overshadowed Christmas. People are already putting up house decorations for it. I've seen maybe 2 giant inflatable pumkins on people's lawns, but light up pine trees on walls are all over the place.

I think I'm going to become a modern-day Robin Hood of sorts and my deeds will be headlines in newspapers as I steal all Christmas decorations put up before Thanksgiving and then return them the day after Thanksgiving.
