[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a fan of Halloween in general, but I don't understand this logic.

Would you apply the same to Christmas?  Christmas morning and presents is already THE THING.  No need for caroling or holiday parties or gift exchanges or pictures with santa or anything else.  The morning of 12/25 is already THE THING.

Just participate in what makes you happy OP and skip the rest.[/quote]

OP here. That…is how I feel about Christmas.

I…do participate in just what makes us happy and skip the rest. But even when we proactively put up a sign that “We’ve Been Booed,” literal baskets of plastic landfill items somehow end up on our front porch. We put them back on the porch of the person we suspected. Once a friend texted why and I said, “Oh, you must not have seen our sign—we were Booed already, so I wanted you to have the chance to Boo someone who didn’t get Booed!” Like no thank you to a bin of crap.[/quote]
That’s just plain rude. You don’t have to participate in booing, but returning the boo bags to friends without saying a word is hurtful. This year post a sign that says, “We don’t participate in booing. Please boo someone else.”[/quote]

Leaving trash on someone’s doorstep is rude and hurtful, especially when they have posted a sign that they don’t want the Boo crap. So don’t talk about “rude and hurtful” when you started it by ignoring a posted sign and dumping unwanted crap on someone else’s property.[/quote]
