Everyone complains that Christmas was stolen from the pagan religions, but in this case, it’s Pagans who took over this holiday. He wouldn’t go door to door asking for candy. He would go to every door in the neighborhood and tack 95 theses to the door explaining how everyone is ruining “All Hallows Eve”. It’s better than the bag of 95 feces on my doorstep.
How about a drunk Irish guy with Leprechaun? Irish are pretty safe to make fun of, or they really don’t seem to care if you do, they will probably just beat the crap out of you if they get offended, which is rare.
Tub of Guts suit. What’s funnier than a fat person, right? I guess corpulence should be fine if you can dress as a skeleton.
Jesus is about the only religious figure left who’s safe to ridicule (but not for all eternity). He’s the most tolerant of all the deities, and he died for your sins, so why not tempt fate and your eternal soul with a little blasphemous masquerading. Plus, it might be helpful to keep those demons bound while you trick or treat.
In light of what’s appropriate or not for Halloween, we try to dress ourselves and our children in costumes that won’t offend. Well, at least most of the population that don’t get offended. You know, like Fat Irish Christians.
Teal pumpkins exist so that kids know which homes to skip during trick or treat. It’s great that people want to include kids who can’t eat candy, but it also gives a heads-up to those who don’t want to waste their time. There are better things to do and more full-size candy bars to find. If my child were allergic to candy, then we wouldn’t participate at all. It would be a relief that we didn’t have to walk the neighborhood filled with displays of Wanton violence and Satanism.
Since everyone is now decorating their yard for the Holiday, I thought I’d mention the best Halloween setup I’ve seen so far.
Hmm, Maybe that wasn’t a Halloween setup.
