This is something a little different. We all love Halloween on this board, but as with the other 364 days of the year there are ALWAYS things we don't like about a day. As special as this one is, it is no exception; indeed, there's probably more about it than any one day of the year (save for maybe Christmas) What are some things that stick like a bone in your throat about the day?
1. People who don't give it the respect it deserves-This about covers every religious group and those who lack any imagination.
2. Weather not being right-That's Florida for you. It rarely feels like Halloween when October 31 comes around. It's hard to get into a groove in a cool costume when you're sweating your ass off like I did last year in my Reaper outfit.
3. Christmas Decor far outweighing Halloween goodies in Retail Stores- No explanantion needed really. Christmas begins to rear its red and green head sometime late July. Halloween is merely an afterthought.
4. Cool gear seen on the 'Net, but not in any stores-Why the **** don't retailers check out their PC's every once in awhile? Maybe they fall into the first category I mentioned in some way. There's so many rich resources to bring some quality stuff to Halloween shops, but you always seem to get the same crappy selections year after year.
5. "Fun-Size" candy bars- Really, when you think of fun, do visions of barely bite size Snickers bars dance through your head? Give me a King-Size and then the fun can begin.
I have more, but I don't want to hog all the fun. Get your gripes in before I change my mind and start listing more.
