Halloween used to be an evening of children dressing up and making the rounds through the neighborhood to get a sack full of candy. Boy have times changed. Now it is a full fledged season. The stores start putting out candy and costumes at the end of August. The prices are outrageuos for a costume you use one night a year. The saddest part is the public gets drawn into the commercialism. The consumer needs to learn to say no to the pressure put on by the retail stores and by their children who do not realize how expensive it can be to outfit an entire family for Halloween.
