To Supernurse: Halloween is just a simple holiday that is fun for kids. It is not about anything demonic to the majority of it's participants. The kiddies just want to dress up and get some candy.
My daughter is 6 and we bought her costume at the Carefour (I don't know how to spell the name properly). There wasn't too much to choose from (actually I think they had 3 different costumes), but she has her costume. As for trick or treating, we don't know where to go so we were planning on giving a bunch of the guys my husband works with candy and just going back and forth a few times. Even when we're home we don't normally trick or treat for too long so I figure this will be sufficient.
Also, I noticed that this thread went off onto American politics. I'm just wondering why so many people are so concerned with what goes on in our country. I certainly don't care whose the next Prime Minister of GB or anywhere else. I mean I realize America is seen as powerful, but seriously!! I'm not trying to be rude, but American politics can be difficult even for an American to understand and I highly doubt most foreigners have a solid grasp on what's going on. I really am not trying to be rude, but I must say that your opinions are probably baseless.......and maybe you should focus on the politics of your own country and maybe one day it will be center stage. I'm actually hoping for Obama as well, but I'm sure our reasoning is much different.
