This is supposed to be a fun thread! We spend alot on Halloween cuz it is freaking fun and we're not dead yet. I give way more to charities than I spend on Halloween.

Ya know - that is such a fukcing crock. Yes, we could all live in 8x10 concrete rooms with a bed only and have two outfits and no iondividuality whatsoever. Hey, everyone could be fed that way, but who would want to live that way? I certainly would not. I realize that is an extreme example, but the illustration is significant to point out that individual choice makes us who we are. To have that choice and that personage, we must be able to set our own goals on spending on ourselves as opposed to others. But, people will judge others and so be it. I try not to, but do anyway.

sheesh...a comment not a judgment and you are all over it...get real...if you took my comment and wrapped it to think I am trying to make anyone feel "bad" or not...too bad. I know I don't. It is an abusurdity to think it would ever happen anyway...so why not mention what was a debdown joke meant to have someone laugh not sob...heard it on the radio...begeezus! take your gunsling out on yourself not me.

SO adorable!!! little kid costumes reduce me to tears!. my office mate just brought in her 4 month old daughter, dressed as a cuddly pink bear, and i was in absolute bits over her.

edit: i realize this reads as slightly creepy, but i assure you it's not the case, i just get overly emotional when it comes to children. LOL

Apparently Suze took it that way as well

But, if you say your intention, I believe you.

Sometimes I feel guilty about how much I spend on Halloween. But it's my favorite holiday and to me Thanksgiving and Christmas are always about doing everything for everybody else. So I get over that selfish feeling very fast.

yeah and I'm concerned about what you two think about my keystrokes...especially considering it was newsworthy announcment made on spending habits...you will probably hear about it yourself...should you watch/listen to the news...btw...clarification wasn't necessary.

You seem concerned enough to respond and then apparently gloat

What's that about cake and eating it too
