Halloween, Bah Humbug!
Whatever the Halloween equivalent of Scrooge's 'Bah, Humbug' sentiment towards Christmas is, I caught it every October when I was alive.
I couldn't see my attitude changing now that I was dead. But stranger things have happened…
Even in a pandemic, kids were going yampy for Halloween, and trusty commerce proved eager to accommodate them.
Pumpkins, witches, and bats supplanted 'Back to School' kit on supermarket shelves: orange, green and black everywhere; Halloween was afoot!
As leaves turned tan on the trees, kids collected and carved pumpkins, lighting them in their windows at night.
I so wanted to scare the bejesus out of the little brats, but no: denied by the undead authoritarians!
