Halloween is probably one of the first good experiences with using imagination for kids. Remember making your first costume? School and Halloween parties started shit for me. In the 4th grade I dressed up as a "zombie". Torn pants, great half mask half make up. Out teacher gave out costume ribbons of all types. Scariest, most creative, historical etc etc. My ribbon was "most hysterical costume" Not exactly what I was going for . The next year I dressed as "Burglar". Boots, levis, camo jacket and the topper was a pull down ski mask worn as a hat. On the way to school I was stopped by two cop cars after someone reported me as suspicious and advised to leave the ski mask in the principles office for my ol man to pick up. No ribbon that year
My elementary school used to have a Halloween/Fall Fair....we had a dunk tank, bobbing for apples, a spooky maze made out of big cardboard boxes, lots of games and prizes and this was after school so children and parents could meet each other, make new friends, see old friends, meet and interact with the teachers, inspire a sense of community with some harmless fun and general merrymaking.

The PC Nazis can really fuck some shit up with their good intentions
Sounds exactly the same. And yeh there was always that kid who didn't participate for whatever reason. We had a kid named Jake who always sat out and just watched but it never once got to the point of kids ridiculing him or him feeling "left out" News flash..no one cared. After the tiny fair he'd sit there and we'd pile boxes of Milk Duds and whatever candy we caught from the Halloween piñata on him and he ate that shat up. Adults sitting around legislating so that kids will not be left out or made to feel alone in school Can you show me a single child who didn't at one point or another feel left out and alone in School? Shit, frankly it looks like some kids need more alone time today. I can't fookin imagine being in constant flip of a switch contact with every friend I had back then, like one huge glued group of codependent cattle. Off of an old geezer rant there...carry on
