Candles and costumes may go hand-in-hand during Halloween, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they go well together.
KALAMAZOO, Michigan -Halloween is still a little less than three weeks away, but there’s no shortage of events and activities in the Kalamazoo area leading up to that big Saturday night. They don’t have to wake up and be off again to school in the morning.
On average, children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a auto and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year, according to Safe Kids Worldwides website www.safekids.org. On average, a person on a fairly busy street should receive anywhere from 50-100 visitors. Pre-packaged candy isn’t cheap but it’s far from a budget-buster.
Another terrific way to take the anxiety out of Halloween for your child is to provide your child with a mobile device that has a GPS-enabled app on it. This allows you to monitor your child and eliminate your worry lines on your forehead. That comes with 100 pieces!

Does the onset of the season of goblins, ghouls, and sanctioned candy-stealing bring a smile to your face or do you dread it like a pap smear? If you can’t, that’s fine.
And, if you’re the candy giver-outer who dangles said mini Snickers bar over the head of a 3-year-old who is too flustered or excited to give you a proper thank you – barking like a demanding drill sergeant?
According to NCA’s seasonal survey, more than 90 percent of parents discuss or plan to discuss balance and moderation with their children relative to their candy consumption, and while most report having these conversations year‐round, many use the holiday as a starting point. Maybe next Halloween I’ll finally get that elaborate, can-barely-fit-through-the-door, Glinda the Good Witch costume I’ve been dreaming about an we can finally start cutting back. That will save you $30 plus you won’t have to keep getting bothered every 2 minutes while watching a movie.

In the next aisle, 35-year-old Joe Lige of Canoga Park said he was browsing for an outfit “on the darker, spookier side” for a Halloween party.
As you begin your Halloween traditions, like carving pumpkins and picking out costumes, officials want to make sure your kids stay safe. The magical evening typically ends with delighted children exploring bags filled with sugary goodness and other fun treats.

Several news outlets interviewed people from all over the country, asking them how much candy they buy for Halloween.
However, watch out for repeat customers!
