I would rush home from trick or treating simply to watch the intro to this Disney special.
Bring back memories? The McDonald’s Happy Meal pail that (for the rest of most of our trick or treating lives) doubled as an candy-toting accessory to any costume.
41 days until Halloween.
67 days until Thanksgiving.
96 days until Christmas.
This blog and most of its readers have a love affair with the critically acclaimed television show Friday Night Lights. Aside from being beautifully shot, incredibly detailed, and eerily realistic… the characters are flat-out lovable. The most lovable of the bunch? The Taylors, of course.
We know that Coach & Mrs. Coach have since moved to East Dillon High, but the traditional Dillon Panther gear is the one we know and love the most.
Outfits inspired by this…this…this…this…this.

What would Jesus wear on Halloween?
My teenaged son want to dress up as Jesus. He has the hair, but he wants a robe like Jesus wore. However, he doesn’t want a crappy polyester costume-shop robe. Also both of us refuse to sew anything. So — what would be a good Jesus-robe (or just any plausible Jesuswear. This would be daywear, not Jesus eveningwear) that we could buy, in a nice natural fabric? and we’re in New York City so if you have specific suggestions for stores that would be even better.
This gets posted every year on the blog, and for good reason: it made my Halloween as a kid. I’d rush home from, even cut short, trick-or-treating simply to watch this program.
Happy Halloween everybody.
The classic intro below was once the most exciting part of my Halloween evening as a child… many of you probably share the passion for Disney’s Halloween as well. Hope you have a wonderful evening planned. Have fun. Stay safe. Don’t do anything McCain wouldn’t do.
Today I will place my actions into your hands.
While handing out candy during Halloween of last year, I found myself giving to candy to children who never asked for it… they didn’t say “Trick or Treat.” So, should I roll over and encourage young children to to live a life of expectancy and red carpets? Or do I demand the timeless phrase before supplying them with the candy that we bought for them?
Granted… children of young ages and certain levels of ignorance will be tolerated. Nobody expects little “Timmy poop my diapers” to muster such a phrase at 18 months of age. But 8-year-old Power Rangers who ring my doorbell, open their sack, and stand silent… does he/she deserve candy that is sponsored by landonhowell.com?
You tell me.
Question:
-
When a child comes to our door for candy, do I deny them candy if they don’t say “Trick or Treat”?
