Best way NOT to celebrate Halloween

So my wife went KOOOOO KOOO on me and told me that she is not celebrating Halloween because it is "a devil worshiping tradition". mmm okay.

I don't care much for it and I found it rather funny but fuck, I could care less if bunch of spoiled brats will have a 1/2 pound less candy if that's her choice. So, I made a sign below:

Now I'm wondering:

1. How many kids will TP our house next year on mischief night?

2. How to most effectively ignore the visitors that I am sure will not even bother with the sign?

3. How can I convince her that she's just a woman with a small brain? With a brain a third the size of us. It's science.

hm... I'd go see "the departed" but I have to do some shit around the house... bummer. oh well. let's see how effective this will be.

anyone else not celebrating halloween?

Do kids actually tp these days?

I've never seen it done! I think they're too scared they'd get shot or something

I never gave candy to kids expect once when I was at some of my friends house and we were tripping balls .... almost call some of them little ******s for being disrespectful

I could only give apples to like 3 kids tonight (when I say 'kids', I mean mini -chavs). They didn't mind probably because their bags were bulging with a lifetime's worth of hyperactivity anyway.

just fill up a bowl of garlic salt and leave it outside

Uhhh...wouldn't it have been easier just to turn the porch light off?

^^ then they wouldn't see the sign and think we're trying to spook them. My doorbell would be ringing like mofo, every 2 minutes.

I think you're confusing kids with vampires

My store has been selling TP like crazy the last couple of days. Eggs, too, and they're not on sale. You can typically tell whenever someone's house is going to get hit if either of those items sell around Homecoming, Prom, Halloween, Fourth of July, etc.

I find Halloween geh. I don't know, every year it just kept annoying me more and more. So what I do is eat my own candy.

if your not extending your halloween spirit in the form of candy to young kids you do not turn your porch (or equivalent)light on.
errecting (i like the word) a sign reading "no tricks or treats" extends a welcome for mischief from young kids.
additionally, prepare to be frowned upon by your neighbors.

such hostility...why does a day celebrating the worship of everything unholy and representing evil bring out the hate in people?

i say be happy trying to scare little kids so bad they piss their pants, and have fun choosing a stupid/funny costume and parading it around town only to spill lots and lots of beer on it....

see, jesus and the devil are friends, so it's okay to believe in halloween.

Confront her insanity now. It will only get worse if you embolden her.

3. How can I convince her that she's just a woman with a small brain? With a brain a third the size of us. It's science.

Easy. Relate to her that Pope Boniface IV established an anniversary dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the martyrs when he consecrated the Pantheon on May 13, ... this Christian feast day was moved to November 1 from May 13 by Pope Gregory III in the eighth century in order to mark the dedication of the All Saints Chapel in Rome, making November 1 as All Saints Day and October 31 as All Hallows' Eve ... the evening before All Hallow's Day (All Saint's Day). Initially this change of date only applied to the diocese of Rome, but was extended to the rest of Western Christianity a century later by Pope Gregory IV in an effort to standardize liturgical worship. It was instituted by the Church to honor all the saints, known and unknown, and, according to Urban IV, to supply any deficiencies in the faithful's celebration of saints' feasts during the year. It's "coincidental" that there was a pagan holiday on this day (much like the "day Christ was born") but really it was the Christian adapataion that made the holiday popular.

After you say this, reaffirm that this is the reason why she has a small brain ... because things such as facts, when it comes to issues such as Halloween, don't agree with what she has going on in her brain.

i am less and less a fan of halloween every year. i have major insecurities about dressing up for it. plus i have serious problems giving candy to kids when so many kids are fat already.

fortunately i live in a building that looks like a warehouse so none of the local kids thinks it is a residence anyway. i am really glad no one knocked on the door today because i didn't get out of bed until 7pm. i don't like my sleep to be disturbed.

It's a Christian Anglo-Saxon festival- originally called All Hallows Eve - ie the evening before all saints day which was fixed at 1st November in AD 835.

In pre Anglo-Saxon times the Celts celebrated Samhein, an "end of summer" festival that included pagan rites.

It has never had anything to do with Satan or Satanic worship. Though I suppose fundamentalists have never let historical fact stand in the way of a good bible-bashing.

Nice work on the history Astro, I never took the time to understand Halloween
