Someone finally wrote about the horror that is Trunk or Treat. Outside of the city, this terrible halloween curse is taking over schools and communities. Yes, I admit it is fun to see everyone’s costumes in a concentrated space.. but I already spend way too much time in parking lots.
This is one of those things I shouldn’t have to explain but halloween and trick or treating should not be about the most efficient way to distribute candy to children. I don’t even want my child to have this candy (we do the switch witch). The point of trick or treating is to have fun with your neighbors, and I’m not opposed to a little bit of the unexpected. Maybe even a grumpy neighbor who has no candy just for character-building experience.
