SMASHING PUMPKINS DAY!

what a country when we take a whole day to celebrate chocolates and caramels and bubble gum and lollipops. forget the ghoulies and the ghosties- bring on the miniature candy bars and pre-packaged licorice. throw caution to the wind and grab a pillow case and knock at strangers doors to see what treasures the bowls in their hands contain. more lovely than gold is a bag full of sweet tarts and snickers and jaw breakers and gummy bears. many a young lion or puppy or skunk or princess or pirate has endured hours of uncomfortable costume to bring home their annual loot only to have their parents eat the best treat in the bunch. leave behind ye jack-o-lanterns and witches on brooms. come see what halloween has become- a festival of sweets and silly disguises. happy smashing pumpkin day to all!
