Halloween

Leith from Hillsborough

Halloween was not a thing when I was young and I do not see what is so delightful about it. We have Guy Fawkes night in another few days, surely that is enough? The present craze about Halloween is, in my view, a marketing opportunity merchants seized on.
I take no pleasure in having children practically breaking my door down, even trying to open it, holding a bulging sack of goodies and expecting more! Children I never see the rest of the year. I know some parents think its fun but not all of us do. Please make sure your children have some inkling of manners and when "enough is enough". I resent feeling like a prisoner in my own home, keeping all the lights off etc. Even that does not deter the sweet children who I can only see as greedy and rude. Apart from anything else, I live on a pension and don't want to shell out for heaps of sweets to give away to unknown people.
