Thankyou @dbooster I did enjoy my Halloween as I always do- because its actually my birthday on Halloween Eve(il bastard that I am...Wahahaaaaa😆🤣😂😅

Nah seriously though, I have always wondered how Americans justify sending their kids out to strangers’ houses — wandering among unknown adults, faces hidden beneath murderous and macabre costumes — in a culture so deeply fearful of kidnapping and danger.

It’s such a surreal contradiction: we warn children every day not to trust strangers, yet once a year we celebrate a night where every rule about safety and identity suddenly gets reversed, all in the name of candy....

So personally I think that they way the Japanese have incorporated it into their lives is actually much better and just as fun.

Thanks so much for sharing and Happy Halloween to you too, although I find it so weird to hear that and say that since traditionally it was a very solemn event...
