Colorado Springs – It’s finally here: Sugar Rush for Kids. Halloween marks the annual rite of passage in which kids, gearing up for lives as future obese and beached whales, will pander to neighbors around the country in hopes for a quick and instant fix. Parents meanwhile, will be dreading the incessant tummy-aches that always seems to follow trick-or-treaters home.

Well, it’s not all bad news, you know? It is Halloween, a time for kids to be kids. Let them dress up and be their favorite super hero. Let them use their imagination and determine what Jack looked like as he climbed the famous and fictional greenstalk. Whatever we do, let’s allow children to enjoy being a child, free to explore the wonders of a holiday that rivals those found in Columbia where drug lords rain white powder during celebratory festivals.

So, have yourself a great and safe Halloween. And most of all, let Halloween be for kids.

Be good .. or be good at it.
