Something has to be Said...

I love the "Holidays".
Especially now that I have a daughter of my own to share all the fun traditions and festivities with on the Holidays, it sure makes them more exciting.
For instance, The Halloween costume this year will be a Bunny Rabbit. All picked out by Bug and complete with carrot. She is super stoked that tomorrow we will paint her little face, slap on some big ears and a tiny tail and hit the Festival at church! Its all she talked about this morning on the way to school.
While Jaden's drive to school was spent talking of spooky costumes and all things Halloween my drive to work was a little different.

First I must state my firm stance on Halloween costumes:
1. Costumes are for children.
2. Slutty costumes are for teens that want to aggravate their parents.
3. Costume parties are for people that belong to exclusive clubs like in that one weird Tom cruise movie before he got super lame after Days of Thunder.
4. Office Halloween parties are always lame and only an excuse for office employees to eat pot luck and slack off while in costume.

Now, my opinions may seem harsh, but I never force them other people...I simply laugh hysterically while I pass other motorists in costume. This morning on my way to work I saw a Evil Witch driving a teal sedan. I saw a strange fairy hauling a mini van complete with ear piece because even 45 year old fairies need to talk on the phone and drive at the same time. I saw a grown man, a grown up man wearing a tin foil hat thing and weird green make up.
People of Stockton I implore you...Stop the madness! Stop the embarrassment! Nobody Really thinks your costumes are awesome! We are all just secretly laughing at you as we sit around the dinner table this evening. Unless you openly laugh and mock as I do.

Again, it is not my wish to force my opinions and anti-costume view on anybody. I just needed to get it off my chest.
Now that it is out there in universe, I can relax and enjoy the beginning of "The Holidays".

(Discalimer: if you are attending an office Halloween party today and are in full costume, and you win a prize for said costume then I want to be the first to congratulate you in your accomplishmebnt today.)
