Great Halloween costume suggestion

Best. Costume. Ever.

Great shirt!

Fox and Friends reports that a elementary school in Massachusetts has changed Halloween to Black and Orange Day because the former was not inclusive. (Black and Orange seems exclusive to Blacks and Irish Protestants.) Costumes will not be allowed. (HT: Richard McEnroe) But what if a kid identifies as a ______ that day? Heads will spin.

I have to wonder: will Christmas be redesignated as Red and Green Day? Will Valentines become Pink and Purple Day? How about St. Patrick's ... never mind, too Irish and Catholic. Best to ignore that one. How about New Year's? Multi-glitter day, with a dollop of booze? And please, let us avoid all those icky Red White and Blue holidays that pop up in the warm months.

You can tell I'm chapped by this one. I love Halloween, I love its Gaelic history, I loved trick or treating when I was a kid (when you could still go out after dark in costumes with your cousins and friends and no adults, and roam the neighborhood getting candy). I love seeing my grandkids in their awesomely cute costumes dragging trick or treat bags on the ground (until the bottoms wore out and a trail of candy marked their progress). God hear my prayer: relegate all joy-sucking SJWs to the nether realms as soon as possible.

I'm with you, Rebecca. I long for Halloweens that were scary, not frightening. Halloweens when the best costumes were handmade. My personal favorite was the robot costume that my Mom and Daddy made from boxes and pillow cases sprayed silver, topped with a camping lantern that had a changing colored lights. The little kid that fled screaming into the night might still be in therapy. I miss crawling through backyard haunted "houses" made by the neighborhood dads that were a collection of large boxes. One had Cheerios on the floor, things hanging down, and openings where a arm or face would scare us. My Aunt E made a scary basement. The only light was the reddish glow. There were bowls of bones (cattle), eyeballs (peeled grapes), etc. I miss the Halloween of yesteryear. Sadly, I don't think it's possible to impress the kids now. They are too used to high tech to fall for the simplicities of then.
