Halloween is a time for generosity to children

Halloween is the only holiday I know that offers kindness to children we may not know. It is a time in which everyone gains something. We who have seen a number of Halloweens enjoy the costumes, the screaming and the excitement of young people running around from house to house praising or complaining about the latest offering.

I know there are those who darken their homes for the night and pull in the welcome mat. However, the true test of kindness is giving to someone who you don’t know… sharing some of your good fortune with others… even if but for one night.
