I guess that's probably it. I wanted to bring in some Halloween lollipops for ltc's classmates, which is allowed on other occasions. I went to public school and we always dressed up on Halloween at school.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Our wings are not tired.
We dressed up in Catholic school. It was one day we didn't have to wear our uniforms.

A woman I rode up on in the elevator this morning was wearing a fascinator. I'm not sure if that was meant to be a Halloween costume, or even if it counts as a costume.

I was just wondering how much guacamole I was wearing. I'll just add the lollipops and fruit treats (all individually wrapped to the trick or treater loot.

I've heard of some Christian denominations disapproving of Halloween, but never heard of it being against any Jewish traditions/teachings.
I did a storytime this past Saturday at a local event where I had brought a bunch of Halloween/spooky books to read, and one kid told me before I began that his mom didn't approve of Halloween, so could I not read any Halloween books? (I gave a sort of noncommittal response and then later this same kid started requesting a bunch of the Halloween books, so I just read them and nobody gave me any trouble about it, but I was still pretty weirded out by the request.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think it's obvious at all -- I just meant to say I can see where it's possible.

Right? I just want to repost Halloween stuff on Facebook and watch the Halloween episodes of Community and Brooklyn Nine Nine. But I have these huge tables full of nigh-incomprehensible medical data to edit. And towels to wash. Meh.

I just want to wander around the office and see everyone else's costumes and decorations, but there's all these stupid orders with dumb problems that need fixing.
One person got my costume without needing to be told who I was. One! Most people have appreciated it once I clued them in, though.

This is why my office dedicates a day to it! You might get some work done that day, but not much, and that's what's expected!
