On my way to work today I heard on the radio that Americans will spend a record amount of money this year on....wait for it.....Halloween. Yes, doing the math, the total figure (which I cannot remember) breaks down to $66.28 per person. Forty percent of adults polled said they planned to wear a costume at Halloween.
I thought Halloween, at best, was a time for kids to dress up and collect candy. The growth in adult participation in the "holiday" speaks to the fact that our society is regressing. No one wants to grow up it seems. Many people want to live in perpetual childhood.
Maybe I am making much ado about nothing. Nevertheless I believe it is a sad state of affairs.
