Imagine $9.1 BILLION pouring into worthy charities each autumn...

That's right. kiddies. Americans will spend over $9 billion on Halloween this year. That's $86 for each and every one of us.

And for what? It certainly isn't to prepare for All Saints Day on November 1.


From CNBC:
Halloween spending slated to hit record $9.1 billion, NRF says



It might actually be worth it if that $9 billion was spent on helping kids have a fun and spooky night. I could live with that.

Sadly, Halloween has become the season when insecure, self-hating "adult" morons feel safe to pretend to be ANYTHING else for a little while and try to get laid. (Needless to say, alcohol sales are way up this time of year.) "No sweetie, I can't remove my mask. That's part of the fun."

If you are over the age of 12 and are planning to "celebrate" Halloween, please don't. Write a check for $86, give it to a worthwhile charity, and make the world a slightly better place.
