Just like Christmas we've abandoned the true spirit of Halloween and turned it into a commercial free for all. It seems like every year Halloween begins earlier and earlier. My birthday is in August for fucks sake and I distinctly remember going to the Co-op the morning of my birthday and there were shelves and shelves full of bloody sweets. In August!! Just once I'd like us to rediscover the true meaning of the festival.
Forget about sending our kids - who attend Government subsidised Faith schools during the day time - out in the evening dressed as the devil to beg for sweets. Let's reserve the entire day for appeasing evil spirits in order to guarantee a generous harvest. In this current economic climate people we're going to need it.
