Will halloween bounce back?

So Halloween seems to be a little less of an event as it was in my childhood for the kids and the community.  I truly enjoy it with my kids, but it seems like it’s different now.    Emily considers Halloween her favorite holiday, so maybe it’s mainly for 30-somethings now.

Perhaps years of urban legends around poisoned candy (false), razor blades (true) in apples or push pins sprinkled in for fun (true) have taken their toll.  This sorta demonstrated the impact of social media, old school style.

Now there are neighborhood Halloween festivals, tick or treating NOT on Halloween and just not enough kids ACTUALLY trick-or-treating on the mutually agreed to or municipality assign day on or before the real date.

This new Halloween mode just means more candy for me, so I buy the good stuff.  Had a great day at the festival, but I doubt Halloween will be the same cool pagan holiday for excess calories it used to be.    So is Hadrian a Dog or a Cow?
