[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a sign of good economy or low financial IQ that we are spending $12.2+ on Halloween and $700 million goes on pet costumes?[/quote]

Americans are idiots.[/quote]

Yup.Idiots like my MIL who buys my [b]16 year old[/b] Halloween socks and pencils and buys a Halloween themed bag to put them in. I’d rather she have put all the money that she spends on useless junk like that into a college fund. We’d have at least a semester tuition paid for that way.[/quote]

Halloween socks are awesome. 55 yo man here.[/quote]

One of my favorite memories from college was going to my mailbox around each holiday and getting a card from my favorite great aunt. In it was always a pair of holiday socks and $10 to buy vegetables. I loved those! You people on DCUM need to lighten up and have fun!

We moved out of DC over the summer. Halloween was awesome here. Kids everywhere. People dressed up, a full on haunted house in a neighbor's driveway. It was a ton of fun. [/quote]

+1 Celebrating brings joy. We buy candy for trick or treaters and new costumes for the kids if they want them. We reuse Halloween decorations, but I don't judge people who buy new stuff.

It's nearly impossible to add up each family's life to accurately compare who's harming the environment and society more. Plus I don't want to live like some angry activist, hating people in my community for having mainstream fun.[/quote]
