We could have gone...Oh what a fabulous post Mr. M! We could have gone to the same elementary school, sans the name. We had those exact same games, and haunted house. I laughed about the 4th grade teacher fortune teller...so very true. My 1st grade teacher was a pick pocket clown. You handed her a ticket and you got to pick her pocket for some cheap plastic toy, trinket or candy. The entrance to the haunted house was covered by black trash bags that had been cut into slits and flapped in the breeze. People were allowed to grab you back them. Slimy hands on the backs of legs...ick! We loved the school carnival. And even my church had a Halloween carnival. Not a Fall festival, but a Halloween carnival complete with Haunted House and bobbing for apples and scary costumes like witches and ghosts. And they did a great job of making the haunted house really grotesque and scary. If the Southern Baptist congregation wasn't worried that they were delivering our young souls to the devil through an innocent and fun Hallowe'en Carnival, then why in the heck are all these righteous do-gooders trying to demonize it today? And I can't believe that Spirit stores are trying to change the date of the holiday. Curses to them all and a pox on their foreheads!The Artful Gypsy aka Wendy the Very Good Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019178141482378287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137640325296397706.post-35577625645367944992009-10-19T22:12:28.498-05:002009-10-19T22:12:28.498-05:00Never heard of Trunk or Treat too.

But the idea sound totally "stupide", "imbécile", "scandaleuse", "cave", "nono"... sorry, I got in an enumeration of french words :-)<br /><br />Still I don't like that idea, it's as bad of Spirit Halloween idea of displacing Halloween for the last Saturday of the month...
