Post Halloween Blues - Friday!
Yo, it’s Friday, the day after Halloween! Anyone else feel like today should be a national recovery day? I was driving the kids to school and realized there weren’t many kids out. Maybe it’s a holiday for them? Either way, hope you all had a great Halloween!
It got me thinking, is Halloween dying? Fewer and fewer kids seem to come out each year. Maybe it’s just the neighborhood – a lot of boomer neighborhoods don’t have many kids trick-or-treating anymore since their kids are grown. But even here, maybe 40% of the street still does Halloween, so there’s definitely been an overall decline since I was a kid. It’s hard to fix, but it makes me appreciate the houses that went all out. Seeing my kids light up when they see a house decked out with decorations makes me want to step up our game next year. So, a big thanks to those houses that put in the effort, whether it’s just inflatables or the one house with the scary garage – I appreciate y’all!
On another note, a bunch of houses had signs saying “Lights are on for the Vols, no candy.” What’s up with that? Just put out some candy! Wild times.
Hope you guys had a decent Halloween night. It’s cold today, after the warmest Halloween since 1971 yesterday. You’d think that warm weather would mean more people out, but whatever. It’s a slow start to the day – I was up late trying to play scary games, which didn’t work out. Now I’m tired, so I’m going to work and trying to take a nap at lunch. Till the next one, peace!
