An Apple e-mail I recently got touted early ordering for iPods as stocking stuffers. Noah's Bagels has posters for using them to cater holiday parties. At the time, September had barely started!

If I gave sweets/candy to a kid on any other day of the year, I'd be arrested. Laxative chocolates are the way to go. Or whole bags of sweets with artificial sweetener like Aspartame, so they eat 5times the daily recommended amounts, and spend the night on the toilet. Here in the UK we don't have a huge Halloween 'thing', although it is getting worse each year. I've seen the kind of thing Jammer is talking about on TV and it does seem seriously over the top. Ironically I don't have a problem with the whole christmas 'thing' as being an atheist I love christmas for what it is: A commercial extravaganza of consumerism. Do Hallmark sell Halloween cards? If they do, then there is your answer. I recently picked up a couple of Hallmark "Happy Neutered Pet Day" cards. September 23rd in case you didn't know.
