So having spent the better part of two days reminding my friend that anyone who actually researches the facts will know the truth of the matter, I decided to do something different for my blog entry.
I ran across an article at Huffington Post which taked about a blog from CBN about the demonic effects of Halloween candy. Now, I have been eating Halloween candy for many years, and since I've been an adult I've also purchased quite a lot to hand out to the neighborhood children. To the best of my knowledge, I had no ill-effects from either of these experiences, but my daughter (J) told me a story which illustrates that there may be more substance to this theory than previously realized. She was with a couple of her friends and the following conversation took place.
J's friend #1 - Who is J dating?
J's friend #2 - She's dating S
J's friend #1 - Which one is he?
J's friend #2 - He's the one who looks like Lucifer.
My daughter's steady boyfriend could be the devil incarnate, and it's obviously directly connected to the fact that I have eaten Halloween candy and allowed her to do the same. That idea of a time-release curse on the Halloween candy is brilliant, but who knew it took so many years?
I did tell her to at least use that connection, and see if we couldn't get something good out of it. ;-)
Anyway, all joking aside - I hope that you have a Happy Halloween (if you celebrate it), a great Saturday (if you don't go in for trick or treating on either side of the door), and watch out for things that go bump in the night!

(And yes - my comments about Halloween candy being connected to anything demonic were all in jest. Not that anyone reads my blog, but odds are high that if someone did - it could be the very someone who would take that literally. The conversation about my daughter's boyfriend looking like Lucifer really did take place as quoted, although I have yet to see the boy sprout either horns on his head or a pointy red tail on his backside.)
