From the October 31, 2014, Chicago Tribune by Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz.

Some Halloween Numbers:

2/3--  Proportion of U.S. that celebrates Halloween according to the National Retail Federation. (We celebrated it with decorations, lights, candy and a couple Halloween parties.)

60+--  Age group most likely to give out candy to trick-or-treaters, according to the National Confectioners Association.We are 60 and gave out candy.

$59.99--  Cost of a sexy Ebola Containment Suit at Brandsonsale.com.  (I didn't buy one.)

$77.52--  Average amount spent on Halloween by those who celebrate, up from $75.03 last year, according to the National Retail Federation.  (We spent maybe $16.00, not counting beer.)

More to Come.  --DaCoot
