  • Lori Tracy, Cottonwood: 'No, you don’t start seeing Halloween items in stores except for about two weeks before. But, you see Christmas items four to five months in advance.'
  • Betty O’Connell, Cottonwood: 'Yes, decorations and candy are sold two to three months ahead of time in stores. It is nice that parents are having parties for kids so that they are not out on the streets.'
  • Anita Martinez, Cottonwood: 'No, I don’t. I hope that it never goes away because the kids enjoy it. It is nice to have holiday items out for kids to look at, as long as they don’t go overboard.'

  • Maria Drake, Redding: 'Yes, it is getting out of hand with kids dressing up gore-ishly and it is not a good thing for the kids. Costume prices are too high.'
  • Leonard Hertz, Anderson: 'Yes it is because it is so expensive to buy a mask. I just spent $30 at a specialty store. You can’t buy them at Wal-Mart where it is less expensive.'

With all the Halloween decorations up in residents yards, do you feel that the holiday is over commercialized?
