Halloween Hangover….
All across America, kids and parents are experiencing what is known as Halloween Hangover.
We are not talking about an alcoholic hangover from the likes of spirits such as “witches wine” and “Dracula drinks”…although this does apply to many adults (and hopefully no children).
We are referring to:
Being sleeping from segmented sleep due to every reason from fear of monsters to tummy aches.
Drowsily staggering across living room floors littered with shards of wrappers.
Surveying the contents of plastic pumpkins and pails dumped upon kitchen counters, tables, beds and so forth.
And grimacing at sinks piled high of dishes, with the crusty residue of whatever make shift dinner was cobbled together, minutes before the commencement of trick or treating. Or countertops cluttered with fast food bags or pizza boxes.


As parents spend the morning after Halloween trying to put the house back in order and organize the days events, while attempting to curtail the amount of candy sugar crazed children are sneakily eating, they ponder:
How to make next Halloween better, and more organized.
Is it really a bad thing to partake? Allowing children to take candy from people dressed up as menacing characters such as Pinhead and Freddy Kruger?
Will it still be possible to loose weight, and look fabulous by the time the Christmas season hits, after consuming Halloween treats; with Thanksgiving a mere 4 weeks away? Or is it best to let the chips fall where they may, and save all of those ambitious weight and fitness goals for New Years?

While being thankful this past Halloween day fell on a weekend instead of a weekday, some parents begin to mentally prepare for next Halloween, while trudging around in carelessly tied robes. As many a parents seeks another Reeses Cup to snag when heads are turned, their attention now shifts to the upcoming Holiday Season, where the cycle more, or less, repeats.
