Well, our Swedes are all in on the Halloween commercial holiday, every year there's a bunch of snot-nosed kids in cheap locally purchased Halloween getup we've seen hanging in the local Quick-E-mart of this town for weeks.
But the kids around here are getting greedy, they're already ridiculously rich with their latest iPhones, iPads, and all the accessories kids can possibly purchase both for fashion, clothes and bling bling.
One kid told me that one old lady just paid him 500 sek (80 dollars) just to get lost. :roar: And since I work at the local schools, I know pretty much what the kids talk about, and they always talk about cheapskates that doesn't give cool stuff etc...
to me this thing is getting out of hand. I remember the days when kids just visited with their homemade costumes (which btw. was far cooler than the supermarket store bought crap), and had a plastic bag or similar which you were free to fill, usually a few chocolates, a few candy-bars and such.
I'm planning to completely get into the boring-grumpy-old-man mode this year, and shut of all the lights, so no kids or adults even dare to enter this area.
There was a minute of insane madness when (since I am an electronics buff) I actually thought of making a scary entrance with lights and sounds, just to scare them off that way....
...but meh...my back is acin...I'm too damn old for this sh*t.
Someone, ring Blu-Rays doorbell!
