Halloween Vacation

Apparently,  Halloween  is  on vacation this year.  Only one trick or treater made it to the house.  None were seen on the streets, or in driveways , or yards. No costumed throngs floating across the street like a cloud of Canadian geese.no dad's on the sidewalk with a flashlight,  and a beer. No toilet paper in the bushes and trees, and no shaving cream on the stop sign. There are no egg yolks oozing from the mailbox . There are no shattered pumpkins on the side of the road . Halloween is on vacation this year. All of the trick or treaters are home playing video games. I saw one costume at work (mascara cat whiskers ,and cat ear barrettes. )
Halloween must be lying on a beach drinking zombies  and eating candy skulls,  because
Halloween is not on duty , front and center for all to see around here.
I just had a thought...
Has anyone seen the Grinch?
You don't  think he might have pulled another caper?
Maybe I'll read about it in the paper.
For now I must wonder what I can do with all this candy.
What the heck are we becoming ?
Mischief night (doorbell night) died first
, and now Halloween is missing.
