The holiday before Christmas!

Halloween is upon us. Well, within a couple of days. It's a great holiday on it's own, without being overshadowed by Christmas decorations. Yes, they are already displayed in all their grandeur in the local stores and hey. I'm all for capitalism, but let's give the devil's holiday it's due justice! I mean when else in the year can snot nosed little rug rats get all dressed up, knock on the doors of people they don't know, and demand shit? Tell me, when else? Not only is this behavior accepted, it's actually encouraged and rewarded. Now my wife and I (at least for this year) still take our little demons out trick or treating, so we're not at home all that much. But, nevertheless, when we are at home, we give out candy too. We both really enjoy seeing the kid's costumes who come to the door. Some of them we know, some we don't. Some we're glad we don't. But here is where my problem comes into play. The older kids. If your old enough to stay at home by yourself........piss off. Don't knock on my door. Go bother somebody else. You're not cute, and your not welcome. I'm not giving out seconds, and I don't care about your brother's cousin who couldn't come because he's in jail. Tough shit for him. And don't ring my doorbell after midnight. There is a real possibility of me meeting you at the door half naked and armed, if you do. This would undoubtedly guarantee a speedy retreat on your part. Oh and one more thing. If see you stealing any candy from any deserving little carpet crawlers, I will whip your ass, with your plastic candy toting pumpkin. So Happy Halloween, and I'll see you out there!
