remember Halloween back in the day?

[jipped genes]

TweetKids would run in big groups. Parents stayed at home to hand out candy.

many folk would have a halloween party and leave their front door open and kids would wander in and out eating home made cookies and punch. play with the family dog and make themselves at home while the adults drank cocktails and laughed at the kids playing. did not matter if you knew them or not.

people trusted people.

if a house did not have a light on they got their windows soaped and a ding ding ditch.

you would go home with 20# of candy and a sugar buzz. take off your pirate costume your mom made for you brush your teeth shower and go to bed with no thoughts of child molesters or poison candy or razor blade apples.

just how much fun you had and start making plans for next year and how you should have tried to hold hands with Katie Johnson.

TweetYa, how times have changed. I was listening to some radio show talking about how Halloween has become a big business and an adult holiday. Even said they moved the end of daylight savings time to accommodate halloween.
I wish it was still just a kids holiday, although I like the sexy costumes on the adult women lol

TweetLoved Halloween as a kid. One year Idid have a buddy that got some weirweird stuff in tootsie rollroll and the adults flipped a lid. Eggs and tee pee where standstandard protocol along with crazy string and water guns.. It was a blablast

TweetIt was awesome as a kid. All your buddies dressed up in some dumb costume without a care in the world. Didnt have to worry about anything back then

TweetThats how it was when i was young. Now at least in my old neighborhood (which was a hot sop for candy, people drove from tons of other places just to have there kids trick or treat here.) Anyway its used to be no light usually meant they weren't home. Now everyone sets up with a table and chairs at the end of the drive way. Kids never knock on the doors or ring the door bell if theres no one out front no one comes to your house. its nuts. I don't understand it.

TweetI loved Halloween back in the day. Trick or treating, eating too much candy, some of the neighbors would even set up their own haunted houses for the kids. No one worried and no one had to worry. Times sure have changed.

TweetAh the good old days to be young and innocent

TweetMy best years during Halloween were as a kid in Queens , NY . Me and a bunch of kids and parents from the neighborhood would go blocks and collect so much candy. When I moved to Florida it was nowhere near as good as many of the residents didn't enjoy handing out candy . And I can remember one year when some kids and myself egged some homes and pissed off some neighbors . I remember a neighbor complaining and wanted to know where do these god damn kids get the money for eggs and don't they know how expensive they are lol .
