Costumes

Yesterday was Halloween.  Our town does a downtown business owners candy give out for the children.  We live in a rural area and the children really can't trick or treat out here.  My niece and nephew wore homemade outfits, except my baby nephew who wore a purchased duck outfit.  He was so cute.

How come costume for adults (and some children too) are getting down right vulgar?  I am not a prude by any means, but give me a break.  My seven year old niece would not have been appropriate in a French maid's outfit.   They made their own costumes because what they had to pick from and the price were outrageous.

I don't understand when or why Halloween became the holiday to channel your inner skank. It was on the news last  night about the raunchy costumes available this year.  Lots of parents were taken aback at the inappropriate costumes for their kids.

Homemade costumes are more frugal if you use materials on hand. This also gives you the option of what the kids will look like. Creativity is alive and well at my sister's house.  I don't have kids so I borrow hers.

Thanks for letting me ramble.
