What Has Happened To Halloween?
And all the other holidays for that matter.
For many years, in some cases centuries, how we celebrate and view holidays hasn’t varied much. Now all of a sudden, there’s a movement going on trying to tell me that I have to change the way I’ve celebrated these days my whole life.
F@#k THAT!!!!
In most schools now, when you volunteer to help at your childs halloween party you can’t bring in things that might be considered ‘too scary’. Nothing with witches, ghosts or skeletons. And in some places, your not even allowed to call it Halloween anymore. It’s the ‘Fall Festival’. WTF?
As a kid I would dread and look forward to this day all at the same time. I hated being scared out of my wits, but at the same time I wanted all that free candy and I knew that I would have to make it through this day to get it. Remember savoring sweet victory on November 1st as you sat there stuffing your face with all of your Halloween loot? I had made it through another Halloween.
I’ll admit that I was a big chicken shit. People jumping out at you with scary masks and making you almost piss your pants. AAHHHH…..good times. To this day, if you walk up behind me and scare me, I will punch you in the face. Literally. Gene found this out the hard way. He doesn’t do that anymore.
Nowadays, people are offended when you scare the crap out of their kids. It’s not like they’re going to break or something. We all made it through it as kids just fine. Just look at me.
Personally, I think a little childhood trauma helps build character. So, let’s stop coddling these kids and go scare the crap out of them. Why? Because it’s funny, that’s why!!!
Happy Halloween, Bitches!!!!
