This year due to lazy parenting we allowed two of our kids to go Trick or Treating. Usually we try to pick something fun to do as a family that is not Halloween related. Now I realize some people think that participating in a Pagan/Satanic Holiday pastime is wrong. Fine. Honestly, that is why we want to avoid drawing attention to the day or its celebrations. Two of our boys stayed home and two went out.Straight up here's the thing the boys went out for a singular reason: CANDY!
and that is what bothers me. I checked it out on the scale and figured that between the two boys they collected well over 10lbs of candy. My math is crappy but the way i figured it people spent well over $30.00 just to supply my two boys with candy. That's one month to compassion or World Vision...

Think of how much we could do for the poor in this world, if we not only decided to not participate in Halloween, but then gave the money we would have spent to organizations like Compassion to help underprivileged children. That would make so much more sense then filling our already full bellies with piles of sugar - wouldn't it?
Ok so I undertand, but at the same time, you gotta be impressed with your boys!! 10 POUNDS!!!! Now that's the sort of haul we all dream about.
