Grinchy McGrinch'o'Lantern

Children of Valdez,

I am sorry I neglected to pick up candy this year. However, the fact that my porch light is off tonight means I will not be answering my door, no matter how much pounding and yelling you do. Screaming "Hey, you got trick-or-treaters out here" makes me want to open the door even less.

I am nursing myself through my first bloody nose of the season, I am tired, I just got off work, and I am hiding from you. Go away.


Thanks,
The Halloween Grinch


Seriously, does no one teach their kids Halloween porch light etiquette these days? For shame!

When I lived in an apartment complex with lots of kids, I ALWAYS either shut off all my lights and played computer games until they went away, or just plain left and went to a movie, a bar, or both. Giving out candy just encourages their bad dental hygiene and their sense of entitlement. Hand out DISAPPOINTMENT instead!

Normally I love handing out candy on Halloween, but this year I wasn't feeling it (and usually I get maybe 2 trick-or-treaters, if I'm lucky).
