My objections to modern-day Halloween are that A) a kids' holiday has been wholeheartedly embraced by adults B) for a good bleeping six weeks before the holiday.

It's for kids. And it should be, at best, something you decorate for a week ahead of time. No earlier. But Halloween's expanding reach just seems like more infantilization of American society.

Related, I am sitting in my usual coffee shop and the Halloween decorations are going up right this very second. I am losing this battle.
