Disturbing



I love Halloween, but it is a weird holiday. It's strange how tightly we Americans hold onto this pagan/early Christian celebration or whatever it is.

In the store this skeleton seemed like a fun decoration, and it has been. The kids love it. But Jake pointed out that it's sick to have a child-sized skeleton. I told him that proportionally it is an adult. But he's right. It's sick.

Halloween really is disturbing. I saw an open jeep in a parking lot that had a scary skeleton in the backseat and bloody hands and legs coming out of the bumper, people from other countries must think we are completely out of our minds.

I am late checking in..but I was rolling as I read this. Kids are already fascinated with creepy things, why to we perpetuate it?
