Today I didn’t realize how much I am behind compared to the rest of the world when it comes to the holidays. 

It is my first Halloween where I actually saw trick-or-treaters since 2007 (that was the month  my dad died that year so I didn’t care and was busy with family). 

I saw girls wearing really short skirts and tight dresses, saying “Trick-or-Treat!” They looked like they were in high school or middle school. 

I was pretty shocked. 

Maybe I have been living in a cave or shut in for the holidays, or being a little estranged has caused me to not be atuned to what’s going around the world.

I thought to myself, “Isn’t this supposed to be a children-friendly event?”

If holidays weren’t, would Santa be delivering presents in a speedo?

I really don’t know…. Maybe I’m shocked because I grew up in an Asian/White neighborhood with lots of little kids and parents that dressed in decency….
