There is only one page in your 2015 calendar left after November. The Halloween merchandise is marked down and, if you are like me, you have taken all the left over candy to work so you won’t eat it all.
This year, the street seemed to be empty on Halloween night. Where did the children go for treats? I saw their pictures on Facebook in the most unusual costumes. I saw little ones dressed up as Ben Carson wearing stethoscopes and business suits; mini versions of Kat Williams with hair parted down the middle and skinny mustaches; and then there was a miniature Janelle Monae in a black and white outfit with spectator shoes. From what I saw on social media, kids wanted to look like the popular people in the entertainment news. Where were the superheroes and cartoon characters?
My great nephew looked like he was a policeman for Halloween. In the city where he lives they do something called treats and trunks. I think I have this right. The parents bring their cars to the parking lot at the school and they open the trunks of their cars and hand out treats from the trunk of the car. Some of the trunks and cars are decorated for Halloween. My great nephew is 5 years old and doesn’t know that he is missing a good old fashioned trick or treat. But hopefully this is a safer Halloween option for the children.
