[quote=Anonymous][quote]The question is : Do your KIDS enjoy it? The answer is yes. Kids like trunk or treats, receiving and giving the tangible things in a Boo Basket, the sights and sounds of outdoor decorations (which I'm guessing you think are tacky and wasteful), and the list goes on. 
It's just how kids (and people who enjoy holidays) are wired. Visual, tactile, very sensory (taste, smell of pumpkin spice)[/quote]

Yeah, letting kids wear costumes around the house or to events during the month, making themed foods, watching movies, etc. is something different that they look forward to and makes the next few weeks a little special. It's different from how fall/Halloween was when I was a kid, but I enjoy seeing them relish it so much.

Our neighborhood does not do Boo Baskets, but I think I would just leave a polite sign indicating that we are opting out if it bothered us. You can't control other people or their purchasing of plastic and candy, so just focus on how you want to celebrate (or not).[/quote]
