You're supposed to guard the peanut butter cups, not eat 'em. ;D

Good Halloween Brokieism! :D
Getting back to the religious disapproval of Halloween, my sons' elementary school never allowed any Halloween parties or costumes because of that. And this was a public school, in a blue neighborhood in a blue city in a blue(ish) state. There were a handful of students from conservative Christian families, plus quite a few kids of Muslim immigrants (not sure how they stand on Halloween, but that might be relevant).
The school apparently was just playing it reeeeaaally safe -- it wasn't even district policy.

I don't know what it's like in your areas, but NJ is already getting set up for autumn and Halloween.
Stores are stocked with Halloween candy, decorations are starting to appear (for sale, houses are not decorated yet). Stores that sell garden related stuff already have mums and other autumnal items out for display.
Pumpkins are soon to follow.

I didn't know the English word for chrysanthemum was mum!
Your sentence made absolutely no sense to me, Chuck! I mean, you usually don't consider a mother being an item of autumnal display.... ::)
Thank god for dictionaries! ;D

I have never heard that either but we do really speak a different language ;D
Here Mum is mother. We never say mom.
