Halloween is for having kids

Here is a long dooce post on why Halloween is so good with kids. We would have to agree. And I think given the shut up nature of suburban life, it throws into relief how exciting it is to have your kids (and yourselves) take over the streets. Many forces, including our own city, gently encourage people to trick or treat at the mall or on fraternity row. It's even become something of a culture war: Halloween is supposedly anti-Christian and even liberal. Hurrah for our neighborhood for letting the kids run wild for a night!
