Where We're At With Halloween

Halloween is an odd holiday, right? Why do we celebrate it, and now that we know how bad sugar is for all of us why do we still hand it out to each other in small individually wrapped packages? It's fun. It's a fun holiday that for the majority of us is about play, community, and imagination. Not to mention it's a thing- it's what all of us do. I wonder what Halloween will look like over the next five to ten years. In the video I share what we do as a family for Halloween - spoiler- it's super mainstream. I know we could do Switch Witch or one of the many other names for it, however it’s just not for us. Sitting out of the fun is also not something we’re interested in. Every year I consider how we could be better around this holiday with what we give away or how we handle the candy situation and every year we do the same thing. I primarily wanted to get a video edited right away for Halloween just so I could use the Jerry Seinfeld clip to explain where I’m coming from on this. Like Seinfeld demonstrates, at times I feel like my kids are too fixated on candy- especially from October 31st through December 25th. How do you handle candy in your household? PS. If you haven’t watched/listened to the Jerry Seinfeld I’m Telling You For the Last Time special you should.
