I forgot it was Halloween. I don't know what to make of Halloween these days. Is it wrong for a Christian family to let their kids go trick or treating? It's really a holiday that worships the occult and evil. There is nothing good about the history of it. Kids just want the candy though. That's what Halloween means to them. I like it when churches hold carnivals on Halloween night and kids can get just as much candy that way. When I was a kid, we lived on a really short street that was a cul-de-sack. My mom would take me and my brother trick or treating on just that street. I think there were about 10 houses. When we moved to Camarillo, my new friends told me that they go out trick or treating for hours and get pillow cases full of candy. I was quite content in my ignorance before I heard that news. I thought you were only allowed to trick or treat on the street you lived on. Well, after that I was a marathon trick or treater. I think the last year I did it was 8th grade. Nobody ever came to our house to trick or treat. We had a really long driveway and the houses were few and far between where I lived. You never know though cuz some houses like that had a big payoff if you made the hike. Nobody took the chance at our house. Nobody comes by our apartment for trick or treating either. I don't think any kids live in Westwood. And if there are, there are so many strange people that live here, I know I wouldn't take my kid trick or treating around here, especially when Bel Air is only a mile away.
