As Halloween approaches, I begin to wonder why some parents think of Halloween as a party night and time to bring out the party drinks while their kids are trick or treating?
Isn’t Halloween a fun holiday for kids to dress up in cute costumes and go door to door trick or treating in their neighborhoods? I don’t have children so maybe I don’t understand why parents need to enjoy the Halloween holiday by getting a little drunk. Maybe I am getting boring in my old age but I want kids to have fun dressing up and creating memories with their friends and parents.
I would love to think that parents are sober while taking their kids out trick or treating and focus on the annual family tradition that only lasts for so many years for kids before they grow out of dressing up as kids …until their 20’s maybe! Enjoy the moment, be present and focus on what you are celebrating…why and for whom.
