  6. to me halloween is not a holiday but a time people give out candies :) and thats all it is to me. plus its a time for people to have parties and stuff i guess. But to some people halloween is a time to summon demons and old dead people that they ask information from. But not me! Also this is a time that candy companies get lots of monies for them to pay bills and are able to make more candy i like this candy, this is also a good time for dentist to get buisness because some kids are pretty stupid and eat all their candy at once, but not me i kinda save my candy into 3rds 1 third for today 1 third for tomorrow 1 third for the next day. Please give me a good grade for all the good words i typed out in front of cayla and elicia, the reason they are watching me type this is uunknown but still This has been a great comment about hollween thank for reading this my name is Daniel Nored period 6 not 3.not Daniel Sanchez im pretty sure you dont spell his name like that but whatever im not a good speller when it comes to names.
