Ah Halloween. The chill is in the air, people are carving pumpkins like nobody's business and costumes are being created from the fabrics of imagination.

We love Halloween, and not just for the candy corn. We think of it as a childhood friend we can still cling to, remembering all that elementary school excitement of thoughtfully picking out exactly the right disguise, wearing your costume to school, proudly showing it off door-to-door, and then dumping all of the candy out in a heap on the kitchen floor. That solitary chance to be someone else or something else for a night--just one night--holds the mystique that lasts a year.

A lot of teens enter a great debate in prep for this glorious holiday--no, we aren't referring to Charlie Brown's search for The Great Pumpkin--but the question of trick-or-treating. How old is too old? When does it become not cool? In my opinion, any way to get free candy and dress up at the same time is a win-win, regardless of what grade you are in, but maybe that's just us. If we find the Great Pumpkin along the way, we'll be sure to give Charlie a call too...
