Halloween 2010 - Do People Not Celebrate Anymore?

This was my son's first Halloween, and being the festive person I am, I have been REALLY looking forward to dressing him up and pushing him around in his stroller trying to get as much candy as I possible can.

P.S. I feell like I must tell you that I am a huge candy freak, so Halloween is one of my all time favorite holidays. Having a baby to take candy from this year has been something I've really been looking forward to.

Anyways, so we start trick-or-treating, and after about 15 houses or so I noticed that there weren't very many people handing out candy. WHAT THE HELL?! People didn't even follow the cardinal rule of the pumpkin!! People had decorations and lights on, but no freaking candy! I mean, I know times are tough, but you can get butt loads of candy at the dollar store. My holiday-hating boyfriend said that "Halloween is a dying holiday" ... I seriously hope he's wrong. Can you imagine 20 years from now, talking to your grandkids about Halloween and them having NO idea what you're talking about?

This Halloween was by far the lamest Halloween ever.
